I used a stepped, or cone shape drill bit. This had the exact slope of counter sink that I needed for the fasteners to sit flush.

It actually took more time and work than expected. I had to do some additional trimming to get everthing to fit correctly.

It should give the hood some added support in the front to make up for not having any fasteners in the front.
