Default Body kit: how to hide rivets holding skirts & smooth out urethane wing?

Hey guys, I have a body kit on my car and the original installer did a shitty job because you can see the rivets that hold the skirts, and the top surface of the urethane wing is a little wavy. I just dropped it off at another shop and wanna personally make sure they do a good job, so what are they supposed to do to cover those rivets, and what can they use to make the wing smoother? Thanks!

if you tell the current shop that you want the work to look clean, smooth and you don't want to see XYZ, they should know what to do to accomplish your desired end result.
if they don't know what do to - take it else where

I would say the original installer did the best he could with what you gave him. JDM or OEM sides pop in as opposed to replicas that have holes to use rivets where the snaps pop in. Use black smooth closed end big cap rivets for a closer to oem look.

You do realize that we have a East Canada forum with about 70 local members... Not sure why you wouldn't post in that forum with the names of shops. I am sure someone could contribute to your cause...
