I'm planning on repainting my 91 GT this winter. Plan includes new front bumper cover and rear cobra bumper cover. Question is...what is best, install and then paint or paint then install? I am concerned about the fit, maybe need to tweek and sand to get good fit. I'm tyring to avoid installing twice due to all of the rivets. Let me know what you think.

I would defineatly do a test fit. instead of using rivets just get some nuts and bolts that are the same size diameter as the rivets and use them to bolt on temperarily. You dont have to put one in every single hole, just every other one or so.
