Cool magnets for securing mods to your car!

I came across this website and ordered some neodymium magnets to give them a shot at securing my cars undercover, really didn't like the idea of drilling holes in my chassis. Well, turns out these suckers are quite powerful and if used in the right places and with the right quantity, they work awesomely. I will post pictures, but I'm sure you guys can use your creativity to find good uses for them. Now I have a smooth undercover on my car to reduce drag with the use of only a few plastic clips and approximately 20 magnets!

Just thought I would let you guys know, these are not a refrigerator magnet. They are rare earth magnets and are very powerful.

I use hard drive magnets to do just what you suggest. I've even hidden a spare key under my vehicles with the magnet securing it in place. Years later and many trips offroad, the spare key is still securely on the car.

Yeah that is exactly what they are, hard drive magnets. They are strong stuff! They hold my under cover up very well. I would like to see someone try the pizza pan mod on some steelies with these magnets, I bet it would work great! I'm still thinking of other ways to make use of them for ecomodding.
