I have just got myself a 12 piece body kit and have no idea about how to stick them to the car lol... was thinking to just screwing all the panels on with countersink screws and also heard of people using pop rivets... seen that on pimp my ride? dont really know how effective it would be... i would like to know if there are any adhesives that "the pros" use...

Ill take some project photos when i start... Thanks for your help

wrong section for a strart but tiger seal is probably you best bet along wit a couple of small screws then just smooth it over. imo anyhow

Pop rivets, tiger seal and chopped strand fibreglass matting with epoxy resin are your friends. Make sure you are bonding onto bare metal which has been treated with etch primer too, otherwise you're more likely to get cracks...
