Default Body Post holes?

I bought a painted body, now I have to figure out the best way to put holes in it for the posts and the antenna.

You could use lipstick or something similiar to mark the top of the post and then gently set the body on the post and it sould mark the body for drilling the holes..

If you use a drill bit put something behind the body to support it. (not your fingers)
this will help make a round hole instead of octagon shaped.
That light kit looks pretty trick!
