And do you need to do any DRILLING ( ) to mount it?

TIA

No drilling double sided tape I think the part # for the single is ATM-15304 on summitt's site. But I still don't know about the paint I read all the other posts and couldn't come up with anything solid.

The three paints rumored to work are:
Ford Medium Graphite Interior Plastic Paint #M4JZ-19M547-4245-H (plus Ford Plastic Primer #F6AZ-19A316-BA);
Dupli-Color Vinyl and Fabric Color, VS-8 Medium Gray; and
Malco Vinyl, Plastic, and Carpet Dye: Carbon Gray 121523

I have not yet installed the e-fan yet--have to redesign and overengineer the system first.

I will not be able to report on the MPG improvements, as I do not measure MPG. However, I will say that 99.99% of the mileage reports are pure BS. People change their driving habits because they are watching the mileage and presto! Better MPG.

You don't have to drill it to mount it. You can use double sided mouling tape to hold it on. However you do have to drill a hole to run the vacuum line or the electrical wires(depending on the guage) through the piller. Because of this I would recomend drilling the 4 corners of the pod, and put the 4 anchors that come with the guage.
