I'm getting ready to install a shift light in my FFR.

My problem is: What is the best method of drilling a hole in the body with out causing any additional damage?

The hole will be drilled next to the mirror.

Hey Mikey,

Try using some masking tape where you want the hole. Drill in reverse, just tried this and it worked more better gooder.

Run out and get a step drill.
Lowe's or Home Depot have them. They are really for sheet metal but do great on fiberglass. Leave a nice clean hole and wont chip the paint around it.

Use a very sharp drill bit and go slow.

What about attaching it by the bracket under your mirror, then you shouldn't have to drill any other holes. I don't know how the mount is for the light but you may even be able to modify it slightly to do it if you have to.
