Drilled 900 holes into my Aero Kit

I have installed the Aero Kit backbumper today, but since I dont like that cheap sticker I did something else:

I drilled holes through the sticker:



Here are the 900! holes before spraying the area around the holes black:



The bumper in place:



Close up of 900 holes:



Let's hope that some noob doesn't hit me from behind the next coming 10 years

EB/W R53 MCS Highly Modified

Looks like he just used the stickers as a template for drilling the holes... and then removed sticker to paint
