Two pieces of advice. 1) When making the hole, don't slip 2) Do not make more holes than necessary

Hope that helps!

Geesh! You are a BRAVE MAN!

Put masking tape over the holes before you drill

If you are using a hole saw, pilot drill first. Then use the hole saw in reverse. Check your layout over & over. Tape with blue painters tape.

Go Slow & Take Your Time. Unless you're really lucky - Be ready to re-paint the TourPak atleast the clearcoat.... (don't ask me how I know (lol))

I figure you mean the spoiler/light kit. Put blue painter's masking tape in the area to be drilled. After marking the drill points, tap the spots with a prickpunch so the drill bit doesn't wander. Drill a small pilot hole and increase the bit size a few times until you get to the finished size hole.

Decide if you want a luggage rack before the spoiler is mounted. The TourPak looks good with the spoiler/luggage rack combination IMHO.

If you are referring to the Ultra-style wrap-around light bar, using the "search" function will give you many informative threads including this one:
