If you put in the side screws you don't need velcro

Default Velcro was the original plan but..>>>
Did not work so well....Drill and tap, or use sheet metal screws. It will be ultra solid that way..

Default I was looking at trying it out with sheet metal self taping screw...I dont have the gauges yet
but wanted to put pod in just to see the look in my car. If I use self taping screws like that will it go back in tight when I take it out again?

Default That is what I have at the moment but was worried about putting it in then taking it out again..I
wasnt sure if it would still be as solid as the first time screwing in.
