Default Need Some Help

I am putting on an aftermarket hood from Corvette Creationz and wanted to know how to install the rubber stoppers/hood height adjusters. Pictures below show what I am talking about. On the black hood there is no plate to put the stoppers.Name:  DSC_0454.jpg

Oh Boy, good luck getting anything from them to fit at all.
Nothing but bad reviews on anything they get made.
Only thing you can do is drill some holes to get them in there. Measure the circumference of your stock hood and do same. The stopper should screw into it.
good luck

Why not get in touch with them and ask how you are supposed to mount them?

I did ask them, but did not get a response.

They just just emailed me a few minutes ago. They weren't sure what to do, but were going to get back to me. The hood actually fits pretty good, but I am not sure how to mount the rubber stoppers. On the OEM hood they have a plate that is in the area, but nothing on the after market, it is just an open space. Now maybe I need to drill out the rivets and use the plate from the OEM hood, but I am not sure that the plate will even come out of the little slot, it seems quit larger.
