I'm not the body guy, so I have no idea. I'd be happy to share what I know once I get the car back

I'm interested in what bonding agent they're using? Do tell. Def subscribing to this as I'm not a fan myself of the riveted over fenders.Looks like the hole on the driver side would be where the Civic molding crease would normally be. Probably wrong tho.

I talked to my buddy who's a body mechanic and he says it's probably the same bonding agent many auto makers are starting to use in place of welding. It's quicker, just as strong and won't warp the metal. Probably something like 3M Automix. I will find out though as I am also interested.

99 civic ex front fenders. They are basically put on backwards, so the front passenger civic fender became my rear driver fender . 3m auto mix bonding agent as I had guessed was what they used. They should have the car primed next weekend and I'll snap some pictures of progress then. I told them to take their time with it.

Man it is tempting to get some of these fenders to test fit this out. They are only about $130 shipped for a set.
