Now put the fairing back on and mark where the laser is pointing and cut your hole using that mark as the center with the appropriate sized hole saw. Repeat for the other side. Ta-dah!!!

I used this method and it worked great. In addition make sure you get the drill fitting meant for fiberglass and plastic. It will have a normal drill bit in the center to guide through your original hole with the right sized cutting portion looks like sand paper.
