Just seems to me like you don't want to be adding metal.... Lol
The finished trim panel is aluminum and weighs less than the circles I cut out. Plus the dimpled holes are already in a straight row and are all uniform. My 3” holes are close, but not quite and they’d bother me being all wonky back there.

I like your take on them and excited to see how the screws bonded to the back work out. The dash crack isn't too bad. You going to fix or leave?
I plan to either wrap the dash in some form of suede or flock it....eventually. We’ll see how big of a hurry I get into as I get closer to driving it.

I thought about brazing something on there but don’t want the discoloration from heat as I plan to leave the speedholes raw aluminum. If the epoxy doesn’t work, I’ll do something sturdier.
