CUtting holes in quarter panel for sidemarker?
Hey I just got some sidemarkers for my eg civic and they need a rectangular hole to fit into the quarter panel.... I was wondering how you might go about making a hole without bending the quarter panel or anything?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Very small drill bit to begin with then use a unitbit to enlarge the hole to your specified size.

As have I, and it always made me wonder. But now that I work with them
day in and day out, im begining to think that its either:
A. the results of way too much drinking the night before/todays lunch,
or
B. 98% of the customers dont know the difference or could care less.
Its like when they call "bondo", "filler". Its all the same stuff, its just
the bodymans way of making you feel dumb and that the repairs are
over your head.
ex...They say that im a "mid tech" or a "refinisher" but we all know im
just the shop bitch.
oh and to add something usefull, keep searching. There are little
diagrams floating around here and there. If you dont find anything
I can take some detailed pictures for you.

thanks for all the help
I need to cut a rectangular hole though, not a circular hole.. any ideas?
Do i HAVE to take off the qtr panels/fnders to cut them or can i do it on the car?
