Maybe it is the picture, but those rivets look like flat top rivets vs the pan head originals. They also look a bit too thick on the edges.

I do not know about Camaros, but the Novas had the rivet painted black. But that quickly wore off.

But then again how many folks are going to get this close to look.

I have some used Nova riveted originals I can take pictures if any wants them.

I just posted it to show an example of the riveted repo, not saying it's exactly correct compared to the originals.

I think I might still have some OEs around, not sure, but I can check and compare side by side.

Is that Body by Fisher logo a seperate piece, like the original sill plates or is it stamped as part of the sill plate?

Looks to be seperate, but haven't really examined it that closely. Also looks like there is a clear film over it but I didnt pick at it.

When we built the car, the riveted repos were fairly new (I think) so figured I'd give them a day in court for only a few bucks extra just to see how they looked.

Have several Abody sills that I looked at today. Rivets are flatter head, dimpled, and painted black.

The flat head might be difficult to modify, but the dimple and the black seem to be easy to modify.
