Default Air Bridge Help

I picked up a Carbon Fiber air bridge from an 02 owner and it looks like I'm going to need to drill it so I can plug in the sensor from the air flow unit.(this is a 98) Has anyone ever drilled carbon fiber? I'd appreciate any advice or help as drilling this thing makes me nervous.

use masking tape over the area you are going to drill. This will help prevent fraying at the drill site.

And drill slowly letting the bit do the work.

I don't know if you are interested but there appears to be a way to convert your older setup to a 5 pin like the 2001 and up setup. This gets the sensor into the MAF.

I have a 2004 so I have never done this but someone has and he documented it here.
