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. |

impact drills are the bombdiggity. That'll get the job done. The most important thing about impact wrenches/drills is that they do not overtorque so it doesnt twist the heads of screws off (I used one 5-6 days a week, 8 hours a day at work for 2 summers and it NEVER overtorqued screws, given it was a DeWalt but that doesn't really matter they are all built relatively the same.) Good luck with your project!
