I think they make drill bits for fiber glass. Otherwise but a NEW bit and go don't apply much preasure. Spinning at slow to mid speeds.
Those would be my guesses. |

If you apply little to no pressure and go slow to mid speeds....you'll get....NO WHERE! Spinning the bit faster is fine....but DO NOT apply a lot of pressure, let the weight of the dril |

i think that spoilers on trucks are ok if they match the truck, you dont put a aluminum racing spoiler on your 87 dodge pickup, but for example the spoiler on the new srt-10 SWEET! it just depends on your truck and the type of spoiler

Get some fiberglass supplies, and mold that wing to the cover, Sleeker and more gas efficent.

i would lay masking tape down ive seen something like that to make sure stuff doesnt fray and paint doesnt chip.
