Again, my opinion, but don't worry about drilling holes in your car. Drill a hole where you need it, and shoot some Rustoleum on it. Use stainless steel hardware. It'll be fine.

See my Vibe thread. I just had some experience with belly panel damage.

Yes Dad

I'm hoping to use the pre drilled mounting points on the e46 under tray on my car-Luckily its a one Piece and runs back to about the Bulkhead area. I'll make sure its securely fitted as per your advice

I'm not going to drill the car if I can avoid it

these e36's like to rot, and the climate here(365 days of rain PA) mean everything will rot as soon as you look at it
