Drilling some holes...yikes!!

I've been dreading mounting up the Toyota/TRD Coupe Rear wing on the car. This one requires drilling a crap load of holes and it does not come with a template. Luckily I have the trunk from my parts car to practice on. First I made a template using cardboard and then did a test run. The test run went pretty good and I made a few modifications to my template. It was scary as hell drilling into the trunk, but it turned out pretty good. It's off to the left by about 3/32". It's bugging me a little, but not enough yet to try and fix it... I'm worried that I might be "picking the fly shit out of the pepper". I'm going to think about it for a little before I decide to do anything if I do.Practice makes perfect?

The 16 holes I had to drill into the freshly painted trunk.
Ahh scary...drilling the holes. While we're at it, check out that paint finish...like a mirror :)
Temporarily mounted up, I still need to clean of the rubber along the edges.
