Default Installing Trans am fender Flares on firebird body

I was hoping to get some helpful hints from someone who has drilled out the holes for the rear fender flares? This is for a firebird being converted to a trans am. Fortunately I have Trans am front fenders. For the rear that does not have two primary holes drilled I was thinking of inserting a lag screw in the spoiler to body mounts and applying a small amount of force scratch a point for the drill location, thoughts?

These are NOT my photos and I can't find the thread that I originally uplifted them from. These are for the early style flares.

I've not actually drilled a quarter using these dimensions.

Hope they help? Measure twice, drill once!
