Looks good! Glad it was a success. I'm probably drilling mine on Saturday and going with a 2" hole like you mentioned. As for your door modification, I'd recommend getting some waterproof aluminum tape and putting it over the exposed insulation, if you haven't already. Same with the hole in the...

Thanks. Either way, try to let me know if you run into any problems. What are you using to drill and how big of a hole do you plan to make?

I asked the same question on Amazon and reddit and got a few more responses. The consensus is that it's safe to drill in the back center between the light fixture and the back wall. I'm still going to doublecheck before I drill all the way through the insulation, but sounds like it shouldn't be...
