Yeah to rivet it you would need a rivet gun. You just make the windsheild as large as the original and drill a pilot hole through the lexan and through the metal lip behind it and put the rivets it. When you snap the trim over it you will never even see the rivets and it will look like a stock windsheild.
If you don't want to use rivets you could do the same thing with screws. Just make sure it will fit below the trim so you don't look all ghetto.
The best stuff to use is the mr-10 but is pricey. It won't scratch very easily so it's a good one to use.

Mr-10 is 200 a sheet.
It will look good just make sure you pre-drill and get some sort of uv protected material.

LOL! The laws regarding windshields saw that a windshield has to do three things..............as long as it does those three things, it's legal.......and reality is, you are more likely to get busted for speed than for a windshield........
The last windshield I made from plastic was for a drag car, and to get the
plastic perfectly flush with the body I made aluminum brackets to hold it in position. I used aluminum rivets to save weight, but if you plan to replace it.....which you will when it grunges over.......screws are faster.....
Shoot us some pics when you get it done.-Bob
