carbon fiber drills and cuts just like aluminum or plastic or any other material. i've got a big pile of resin-coated scraps that i'm playing around with.... so far i've made doorsills, custom 6x9 speaker mounts that cover my rear seat armrests (my hatch is now a 2 seater), and a shift boot for my friend's '98 Celica GT... he's got a short throw shifter, so i just took a big sheet and cut a half-dollar size hole in the right spot, covered the whole area the boot used to be. then we took another sheet that fit perfectly around the shifter, and it slides underneath the top sheet. very cool piece. i might try it on my car once i get my shortthrow...

but i digress. drilling carbon fiber is as easy as anything else.
