Cibolo, hmmm . . . just outside Selma, TX, one of the most notorious speed traps in the US going back to the 1970's. One of the reasons I used US-281 to go back and forth from Dallas during college in San Antonio.

As to drilling: todays car paint is in layers which work together. For installing radio transceivers one of the old recommendations was to sand metal for vehicle bonds to bare metal. Not any more.

Some form of bellypan will eventually go on my CTD. But, as with component access and cooling needs, a bit more homework will have to be done. Drilling into painted metal not such an easy thing anymore, IMO.
