I don't think anyone would buy that cheap grill, so you have no feedback. Plus drilling that hole will most likely probably maybe crack the entire grill knowing it's quality. Goodluck

Dang if its this one....
"It has no pre-drilled mounting holes.
Modifications may be required
to customize the fitment.
Very easy to install."

Oh boy should have asked them or called them before purchase

As in drilling holes on cf... be very very delicated if you are going to do it. try giving them a call and ask the best solution. (i dont have any cf stuff except for f-sport shift **** )

i say put tape over and then drill where you need too . just be really careful because the resin from the cf must be thin so it can possibly crack.
