I've also used the Dzus fasteners on mine - pix below - they are a pain to get lined up correctly. Be patient, go slow, figure out the depth of the 'plunger' mechanism that you need for the glass flares you've got.

I've got the fronts held on with rivets and adhesive - I think I prefer the Dzus overall.

I tried to keep as much of the full panel as possible, but had to trim a bit since I was mounting over the existing tin vs. a direct replacement of the tin. The real 'pucker' happens when you begin to cut away the body - but be brave and go slowly!! I marked out the cuts with blue painting tape to guide me along the way.

Since my goal was more 'race' and less 'show' I was not too concerned with the finished cosmetics....but all in all, I think I'd do it again with the f'glass panels.....the weight saved is significant!!!

Next stage is to have the panels painted to match - and that is relatively less expensive to have the panels only professionally 'shot' vs having the whole car done.

have fun!
