    I got a new dixco hood tach . Has anyone stuck one of these on a Grabber hood ? Now I'm scared to punch the holes. But the tach would look damn good. Now what?:huh: What would look best, on the hood decal or on the paint on the edge of the hood? Can I drill fake holes?
    Thanks.:huh:

    What do you mean by "drill fake holes"

    I personally wouldnt cut up or drill a good hood. Why not try and mount it to your cowl?

    I personally dont like the tachs on the outside... like them in the car

    fake holes are, little black dots that you put on hood and then use double sided tape so that you have the appearance of holes under the double sided tape..

    You will want to mount it so you can clearly see it from the car's driver seat. I think mounting it outside the hood decal would be the best.
