Some Ferraris are built from the factory like this, it's meant to be better than welding because you get less metal fatigue than welding the panels together same reason all airplanes are riveted together.

Ueo Katsuhiro had this done to his AE86 and he found after a year or so the car didn't feel good any more, he said it was because they were after coming lose.

looks rubbish to me with the amount he put in it. also his rivet gun is a pain in the ass to use the scissor style with big handle are much easier to use i think....or an air one better still.
