I'm asking this everywhere so forgive if you've seen this post elsewhere... what is the best way to mount a fiberglass decklid? So far I've heard pop riviet with epoxy glue. Any other ideas? Thanks.

The best way I have seen, so you can use the stock hinges and spring, is to cut a donor hinge section (the reinforcing panel) out of another decklid and fiberglass it right onto your lid. Pop rivets would look like hell, unless you have the special top-secret Grumman "Stealth Rivets".
