Quick question before i rivet the aluminum panels behind the front wheels. The manual shows this piece (non powder coated in the pic) on the outside like in pic 1. It looks much neater if you rivet it behind like in pic 2. Is it just personal preference or is there some obvious reason not to do it like i am planning to?

On the same note, i assume i can rivet it in place now or should i wait for the body to be put on?
