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.
