Default CF Hood questions

Does anyone know if a CF hood would fit in the back of the tC w/ the rear seats down?
And can anyone give me a quick walkthrough on drilling holes for the washer nozzles?
Thanks

Yeah, a hood will fit back there. As far as drilling the holes...use a drill?

Edit-

You probably would want to place tape over the spots you are drilling. And be very carefull.

Haha
Is it better to drill from the inside or outside?
What size drill bit should I use? and
How do I disassemble the nozzle off the stock hood?

I don't know the best way to drill or what size bit to use.
The washer nozzles pop out, I'd say measure the part that goes into the hood and start there.

be careful when you drill it.... one small crack = CF hood is not usable anymore

it better to leave it on the professional if you are not good at it....
