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.
Reverse is okay for high speed steel hole saws, but not for carbide-tipped - they may survive that in fiberglass, but the carbide tips are designed and attached only for conventional drilling and could be ripped off if run in reverse.

Personally I wouldn't do it with carbide-tipped hole saws. Just my 2¢.
