best way to penetrate through metal?, needa drill a hole through the metal of the celica Options

[daazndood]

hey guys. unfortunetly, my 404 rear lip doesnt line up exactly with my rear bumper. the end of the lip, where you drill the holes to screw onto the car, isnt long enough to reach the predrilled holes in the cars wheel well. so i need to drill new holes a little closer to the side in order to screw on my lip.

i've noticed that this part of the car is made of metal. im having a hard time making a hole through this. any tips for me?

its the part in the wheel well of the rear wheels. on stock celicas, it has this rubber thingy. its opposite of the area where the side skirts screw on.

its cordless, but i dont remember how many volts it is. its not on me right now, becuase im visiting home till tomarrow. it is lower end though. even drilling through the fiberglass lip wasnt so easy for it.

if i drill metal i ALWAYS use a drill that plugs into the wall. If im forced to use a cordless i try to get a higher voltage one, and use the higher torque setting. (they usually all have a switch for 1)speed 2) torque) then I use light to medium pressure and just let the bit do all the work...some kind of lubricant can also make it easier on the drill, so that its not binding as much. Good luck bro.

edit: also, try a smaller drill bit first, then go up in size untill u get to your desired diameter...less metal removed per bit...little easier on the drill.
