PR CAI - drilling hole

I have a quick question. I know how to do everything else with the Place Racing CAI but the one thing i cant seem to understand is how do you bore a 3- 3.5 inch whole in the fender of your car. Ive seen the instructions on how to do it many times but i dont understand how u make a perfect circular cut in metal 3 inches in diameter.

What tool do you use? And how do you make it like that, do u start from center and work out to edges and then cut out the circle or what? How do you make it look so perfect.

Sorry i am not a tool inclined guy and want to know what tool I need to cut that 3 inch whole.

Please do tell. Thanks so much guys

Hello there,
You can go to Home Depot and buy the HOLE SAW, and you still need the drill though. Hope this help.

I have something that covers the hole perfectly too. Take the rubber part of the MAFS and put it in the whole. Perfect fit...

Make sure you use some type of lubricant while drilling, it'll make cutting the hole much easier.
