Whatever you have will do. They arent stainless steel or anything hard like that. Use a punch to make a divit and start with a pilot hole (use small drill bit first to start the hole). Easy! Throw up some pics or more questions of your project!

When you use the center-punch, be sure to hit it good & hard. If your bumper is chrome plated, it can be a bitch to get the hole started.
