maybe the .01 of a lb you saved from the holes save you some gas mileage? but the drag from the airflow might cost you that weight because it could get caught in a vortex ring state around the sphere behind the handle...

Ok so first I found the center line in the center duh. There is a small line from the molding process.
Then I went over 1 inch X 4 on center and made a little mark.
I used 7/16 bit but you can use whatever. I would not go higher than 1/2. I used a bit for steel as in makes a sharper cut.
I put a J-box cover wrapped in electrical tape as I'm an electrition and thats what I had around (electrical tape) as not to scratch your jeep. It was 4X4 by 16th in thick
Take your time and go slow.
Trim off the burs with a razor blade.
Then BAM your just like me.
The End.
Ps. if you have a hummer do NOT use the 4X4 plate behind the Handel.

going from left to right your second hole is higher than your others... im just saying but it looks okay i guess if you like things like that...
