My track build has CF hood and FG fenders that bolt on. I notice there are other panels available such as roof, rear fenders, door skins, rear valance (behind lights). As these other panels are all welded on how do attach the FG or CF panels to the body?
I figure drilling out the spot welds and riveting but are there other options such as bonding?
Also, do these welded panels provide any strength to the body or are they not part of the unibody construction?
Interested in how you guys are fitting these for a clean look.

I have a full cage in there and it's really just the rear fender panels I need to change to +2in over same as the fronts. Basically need room for my early offset wheels to fit on my late suspension.
Thinking about it I could always fit the Broadfoot rear fender extensions.
