Default MBRP door handle mod?

Hey all,

I saw some pics of the MBRP JK that was prepped for SEMA this year a couple of weeks ago. They had drilled holes into all the door handles and the end result was pretty sweet. Has anyone else seen or done this? I tried to find some of the original pics but am not havin much luck.

Can anyone who has done this mod post some pics and advise what tools/ bits were used and what pit falls they may have encountered ie, drilling too fast and melting or cracking the plastic door handle. I checked the mod list but didn't find anything.

If anyone knows where to find the pics I mentioned above could you help me out and post a link?

If you notice the MBRP JK has only 4 holes in each handle...
And i think the hole size in the MBRP is a little bigger than in write up...

Yeah of all the pics i saw the MBRP door handles look the best. I really wanna do this mod but want to make sure I make just the right size hole. Figure I'll make 4 but unsure what diameter?
