Mike - I really want to see how you mate up those fender flares with your C-west rear....
only because I'm headed that way too (and I want to learn from your mistakes )
car is looking great, as always

1. mold it to the rear bumper
2. separate pieces (which is what i did) - if you want to be hardcore, you can add some fiberglass to a small area near the wheel that gets revealed. depends how far you want to take this.
I riveted mine to keep the style flowing from the front portion of the quarter panel to the rear. Rivet guns and rivets are cheap. You can check out Cherry Aerospace rivets if you really want get down to business. Notice on the cwest bumper, the side diffuser flow points down a bit.
i could have put some more effort and created a whole different mold with the extensions to better fit the bumper.. but the piece was already great the way it is. working with fiberglass isn't fun in the cold anyways.
