WHAT THE HELL DO I USE TO DRILL A HOLE THROUGH THE CARBON FIBER HOOD TO USE HOOD PINS? IF I DRILL THROUGH IT, IS IT GOING TO MESS UP THE CARBON WEAVE, LIKE CRACK IT OR MAKE IT GO ALL OVER ....? DO I DRILL FROM BOTTOM UP OR TOP DOWN ALSO FROM THE HOOD? THANKS.

generally you would use a drill and a drill bit...

Take your time with the pins. Put some grease or something on the studs for the pins and shut the hood so they make a mark. Now drill a small guide hole from teh bottom of the hood through to the top. Then increase the sizes of the bits, drilling from the top of the hood to the bottom now. Reason to drill top to bottom is not push all the debris outwards to where you will crack teh clear coat...drilling downwards will not push teh surrounding clear coat upwards. Reason to slowly increse the sizes is to not crack the CF and so you can determine the sizes as you go. Better to start too small then too big. Thats about all the advice i can give ya though. Good luck

Best advice i can give you...is to take your time.

thanks so much, i will give it a shot tomorrow!!
