Sorry Charlie (no tuna pun intended) I have never tried under hood on any of my Corvettes but I know that in the C8s and C7s people have done so with good results. One caveat is that those hoods are Carbon Fiber so I don't know about how the hoods on the C4s would work. Some have also had luck having the transponder near or attached to the roof panel. Also I know the license plate mounts work but I think you would need to have it on the front so you would need to have a front plate unless it works under the cover. When I had my C4 I did exactly what you do--had it in the cutout, but held firmly in place by my V1 radar detector. It was still white and fairly obvious but it worked. Since then, I have discovered a neat black silicon cover for my transponder (I think I got it from Amazon but maybe just a Vette products vendor). I swap the transponder between my Z06 and my BMW 540xi (in the lower left corner of the windshield) so it has velcro on the back and shows a little white but it is still must less obvious that the pure white one was. If you decide to keep it in the cutout, the black cover might make it disappear better. --Bob
