hey guys. unfortunetly, my 404 rear lip doesnt line up exactly with my rear bumper. the end of the lip, where you drill the holes to screw onto the car, isnt long enough to reach the predrilled holes in the cars wheel well. so i need to drill new holes a little closer to the side in order to screw on my lip.

i've noticed that this part of the car is made of metal. im having a hard time making a hole through this. any tips for me?

its the part in the wheel well of the rear wheels. on stock celicas, it has this rubber thingy. its opposite of the area where the side skirts screw on.

Dumb question: why is higher voltage better? When I was shopping for a drill I was going to go with a 18v drill that had a speed of 0-400/1300 rpm or something and ~280 ft lbs.

I opted for a 14.4v impact wrench with a drill adapter that puts out 2300 max rpm and 1050 ft lbs.

Even though the impact wrench/drill has less voltage, it has a drill adapter, faster speed speed, and 3x the tq wouldnt it be better? Does a regular drill do anything that I wouldnt be able to do? Wouldnt tq be one of the more important things for a drill to have?
