Default Drilling into painted fiberglass

I'm getting my car soon and there was a "mix up" at the factory (Peter!!!). I am building as close a clone as I can of his orginal csx car. Bottom line is I had requested holes be drilled into the proper position so I could install the street washer bottle and associated nipples to the right and left of the wiper arms. Well, that one slipped through the cracks, no big deal.

Anyone have an experience drilling into their car? A budy of mine has an ERA 289 and said he had to drill all his holes for the emblems and it was really no big deal.

I assume I do my measurements, use masking tape, drill a pilot hole to start and slowly make it bigger to fit the size of the hole I need.

John also told me that the area under the hole needs to be counter sunk so I can screw on the washer and nut that holds the nipple in place.

Anyone done this?
