Only question I can ask is if you are using flat head machine screws on parts. Can't tell from pics.
I totally agree the finish is rough as everything is hand laid and to make it worst, the hybrid CF/Kevlar is a real bitch if done this way. it just cannot be sanded like CF. Those rear side panel on the quarter wasn't easy to fit correctly as it curve inward toward the rear, I had to adjust the cut line.
I did a better job on the left side since it was the second time doing it ! as well as the left quarter panel is a one piece 2 Vs the right side being a 3 pieces+ the gas cap panel.

Ver2.0 will be CF only or mix of CF/FRP but it wont be before 2016. if that happen this quick

to answer your question, the body work is held by Rivnut and half round head machine screw. the front bumper is a mix of Rivnut and rivets as well as the diffuser.
