Default CF hood. How to make square holes for washer squirters?

Has anyone done this? I'm trying to make washer squirter holes for my gf's 00 coupe in the new cf hood. The hood came with small (1/8"?) holes where the squirters go, but the factory ones snap into a square hole. Any pics or suggestions?
thanks,
Jared

dremel/drill

start with a small bit and work your way up, be real careful though.

you could drill a small hole and then use a square file. just a thought.

the dremel and square file would work very nicely. What I did when I had a cf hood was I bought some of those ricer lights, cut the wires off, took them apart and painted them black. It worked with the round holes. I would think the square file would work decently.

What'd you get a JDMShit hood? Cause they drill 2 circle holes and thats it. They leave the rest to you. But if there aren't any holes I say leave it. IMO it'll look alot cleaner without the washers.
