I like the cabinet catchers. I have wondered if they could serve for wheel skirts. Re: the wood blocks, would it be better to attach the catchers to the wood before to the fiberglass? It might be more difficult to hold the whole grill block steady while drilling, whereas you could drill evenly and precisely into the wood block alone easily?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
