Anyone drill into carbon fiber before, any hints or tips other than be careful and use sharp tools, responses I got from idiot friends?

id suggest doing the same thing as when drilling paint, put masking tape on it, center punch it then use a smalll bit then the size you need.

Not easy to find but I have several drill bits for plastic, much steeper slope on the end and they cut without grabbing and breaking the plastic. I have used them on CF with great results.

tape and a punch is not a bad idea either, run the drill very very slow as well.

I have drilled a cf hood for hoodpin before. if you mask it off and start with a pilot hole and slowly get larger it will be fine.
