Yeh I was thinking about making a template and a ruler. I am not concerned about where to place holes. I am concerned about the color matching when I get the thing. Also concerned about drilling. I don't know which bit to use, and would probably have to guy to my mechanic. Also getting the inside screws of are impossible. The outside black piece came off very easily. The inside screws on both sides are to tight, they almost feel welded in. How do I get those inside ones off? A Philips head ain't gonna do it. No...I am not a pro at this. I have found simple things, with cars and other things in life are not simple for me. I am considered very bright bookwise and have high abstract intelligence, but I don't have a whole lot of common sense. It's like the genius who can't figure out you need to push the glass door side ways to get it to open, rather than forward. Get the picture. It runs in my family. My father is an artist, but is very clumsy does things ass backward and has oddities of thinking. It's almost a mild form of Schizophrenia. Just doesn't see the world with the same kind of cynicism everyone else has, and has the common sense of a 6 yr old. He is a wing it kind of guy. He is like a 6 yr old kid who jumps into a pool before checking how deep the water is. Consequently he has accidents all the time. If there is a potwhole he steps in it, a sheet of ice he slips on it.....get the picture. He is kind of in his own world. Sorry about getting into my family problems. But there are smart people out there who just don't handle common sense basic things very well. I also don't have a whole lot of confidence in my ability and have never DONE this before. I am going to need to go to my body shop, have them remove the thing, and then drill the holes. I don't have the bit, and will probably crack the thing. I know...to much info....just having a bad day.
