ALUMINUM? In my head “aluminum and rivets” is somewhere over there with “connecting rods” J. Think “composite”.

Sorry, didn't mean to insult your or anything 8*)
Composite guys have it the easiest in the 'fit-n-finish' arena. From the extremely limited amount of glass work I've done, to get any sort of decent part at all you have to have smooth flowing curves. The finish is built into the structural build. Much different from aluminum which has all sort of angled endpoints that have to be treated or hidden, or a tube frame, which is just a visual mess (unless like me you can see the beauty in a tube frame...then it's gorgeous!)
