Default Using sink hole covers

I saw a few of you have put stainless steel sink hole covers over the hood liner clips. I think it's a great look. What did you use to adhere the sink hole covers to the hood liner clips? Thanks.

PS: Starting painting the logo on my new hood liner. Now I know why it sucks to be 46. Eye sight is going and my 'paint hand' isn't as steady as it once was. It's been slow going but the results are shaping up. I'll post pics whne all done (at the pace I'm going, should be sometime in the spring )

I used some 5min epoxy to attach the covers...haven't had any problems with them and love the look.

No adhesive is required.... The sink holes have teeth on the back side of them. Fold them forward, place on top of the plastic hoodliner clips and fold them back onto the clips.....and voila..you're pimpin!! You may need to trim the plastic clips with some scissors though.... no biggie!

This mod looks great under the hood. For once, a simple and inexpensive way to make the car look better.

Yup

Get the ones that have the teeth, not the peg that extends down into the hole. I think they were like $0.98 each...
