Default Attach Hood Insulator

Need assistance! I own a 2006 Dodge Charger R/T with a custom (non-metal) hood. I purchased a new hood Insulator that I'm having a picture airbrushed on it. My problem is that there are no holes in the hood to install the Insulator. I''m only going to use it for display at car shows but need an idea of what I could use to attach the Insulator. I thought about velcro but if left on the underside of the hood without the Insulator in place, the heat would loosen the velcro and fall off. What can I use for this install?

You need to make marks using another Charger or the hood insulation as a template.


You will need a depth setting drill attachment and a steady hand to make those holes.

Would this attachment be sold at Home Depot or Lowe's? Thanks for the info!

Yes, any home improvement store. It's basically a collar that slides over the drill bit and held in place with a set screw to limit the depth of the hole. Called a drill stop.
