I am not aware of any local shops that could capably drill though carbon fiber without screwing up the weave. Wait a sec, doesn’t T70-Tsi have those on his Eclipse? Is it this?

yeah, my hood never sat all the way down right so now i need these to make it stay down on the sides, it was sticking up so bad that the last time i was at prp the guy told me to close my hood because i left it open but it was really closed just wont go down all the way. I was concerned with messing up the weave whicch is why i wanted to see some personal opinions on shops that could capably do this for me. ---
