    Thank you for your kind comments ARA,
    Here are a variety of ways, personally, a keyhole shape in the back and 2 hooks is easiest.
    You can also try Velcro in the back, but must use super strong.
    Can also mount on a wood board, then attach that to wall.
    Personally, I cannot really say what is best, as the setting also contributes to the attachment system.

    Regards, Alberto

    Yes, just drill in the back, go easy as only 1/8 " thick fibreglass.
    Make pilot holes, then work with a small round file to adjust to your liking.
    You might put some blue tape and mark accordingly, so no slips.

    Regards, Alberto

    Yes, it works. The lights were bright in the garage so it's hard to tell but it's lit up. Thanks. Will post pics of valve covers and intake as soon as i mount them. Thanks again, the valve covers are GORGEOUS.
