Default Carbon Fiber Hood Difficulties

hey everyone, I just got my c/f hood the other day, it fits wonderfully on the car, the only problem is that the little holes for the wiper fluid nozzles are too small. I don't have much experience dealing with carbon fiber, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best way to widen these holes a little. I just don't want to ruin the $400 investment...

thanks

Put some paper masking tape on the outside and drill inwards. Just take it easy and take your time to make sure you've got things lined up.

After putting the tape down, put the nozzle down as far as you can, then draw on the tape to see how much needs to come off.
