How hard would it be to drill holes in a CF hood for hood pins?

make sure you start with a small drill bit and work your way up to the size you want. Don't apply allot of pressure. Let the bit do most of the work.

Also, support the bottom with a block of wood or something that wont hurt the drill bit when it goes through the CF

Its IrPox's hood. I was posting for him because he was at work.


He is getting a CF hood.

A tip I was told once was to get drill bits made for drilling into plastic. They're angle is far sharper and makes cutting into the hood less stressful on the CF. That or just take an old drill bit and sharpen the angle more yourself. Didn't do it myself but the logic is sound.

we did my cf hood with regular drill bits, its really easy just like brian said work ur way up from a small bit to a big one you dont need anything special just be cautious
