' drilling holes'

Perhaps, the holes used to mount the existing, narrow outboard belly panels, could be 'recycled', creating an attachment point for a 'new', single, full-width belly pan section which spans the entire width of the underbody, losing the two small panels in exchange this solitary single new panel. Section by section, front to rear.

My CRX has a bunch of existing 'holes' underneath the car. I found that 1/4-20 RIV-NUTs fit these holes exactly. I cleaned these areas with 91% isopropyl alcohol , plus the RIV-NUTs, and wearing Nitrile gloves ( Harbor Freight Tools ), I applied a thin coat of J-B Weld epoxy before insertion, to help prevent 'spinning loose' when bolts were installed, or removed ( give the epoxy at least 24-hours to set, before using ).
I was able to pan then entire belly without ever drilling any new holes.
