I was terrified to drill it but my mate turned spoiler upside down and we put a large sheet of paper over it and rubbed a crayon over it.
This showed where the holes where.
We then laid this on the boot and drilled...sorted....

I have Seibon carbon bonnet,which is actually pretty much made from fiberclass.When i installed aerocatch hoodpins,i just drilled a little holes carefully and made them bigger with dremel.It was very easy job.I think that it is best be done,when weather is warm or in a warm garage.It is also very dusty job,so cover your engine.

I can also speak only for regular Seibon carbon bonnet,dry carbon may be different story.
In dremel i used sandpaper.
