what holes?
If you mean body post holes, just buy a 1/4 inch drill bit (same as 5mm). It would be easier to find than a metric bit if your in the US.
BTW, calm down, caps mean you're yelling.

What exactly is the question?:confused:
DASHer look in your Sprint's manual on page 13 it says the bit sizes you need for each whole. The manual has some more valuable info on other things to, like suspension setups for better handling but higher lift. The manual also has a ratio chart says what combination of gears will do what. also says what combination of gears that wont fit in the car...thats why its important to read of the manual. Anyways i know this stuff is off topic buts its just something on the side i thought that might help a little.
o in the manual it says to put the hole for the antenne in the windhseild no need to do that. put the hole for your atenne wherever you want it or whereever your atenna is lol

becarful and yu can use the 3mm and make the hole a little bigger. maybe thats the answer or go buy a 5mm bit.

1/4" is roughly 6.5mm! Go with the 5.5mm drill bit tis perfect, and is the only one ive ever used. Any LHS should be able to work in imperial and metric units, but 5.5mm is the EXACT right size.
Hope this helps

Hmmmm... This is really hard. Maybe we should go to the Hobby Shop and buy a REAMER, thats r-e-a-m-e-r . Then we can use it to make body post holes and the antenna holes. And with a reamer you can adjust the hole size from o mm to 20 or 25 mm.
Just my two worthless cents
