To make a super-sweet spoiler for your G-cart, youll need some sheet aluminum, a drill, a metal drill bit, metal snips/ metal bandsaw, rivet gun, rivets, pencil/marker, and a straight edge/ruler. First, mark out your design on the metal with your pencil or marker. Then, cut out your design/pattern with the metal snips (or a saw if its thicker). Make sure to watch the edges of the cut material, as it may be extremely sharp (you might want to wear gloves). Youll then need to drill holes at your connection points for rivets. Basically, this will act as a bolt that just holds the two pieces of sheet metal together, and it will retain a nice finish. Use the rivet gun to attach the rivets.
