RV-8 stall warning kit retro-fit

I am installing the Vans stall warning kit in my RV-8. In mounting the small inside leading edge bulkhead (that supports the unit), there is an option to drill countersink, or dimple the skin of the leading edge skin for a flush mount rivet. The skin has a mild radius to it, and quite frankly, I can't figure out which would actually be a cleaner approach. Anyone get through this, and are you happy about which way you prepared the leading edge wing skin?

I dimpled mine and used the supplied flush pull rivets. Very pleased with result. I can take a photo if you like.
