All the round holes I drilled in my car were with a holesaw spun in reverse.
Drill your pilot hole (in reverse) then use that as a guide for the drill in the hole saw.
I also laid down some painters tape while I did this.
No chipping, cracking or anything.
If you think drilling for the hood latches is a booger, wait til you drill for the roll bar.
