Default question on hood

i picked up a super cheap fiberglass ram air hood... it has all the factory bolt holes except the 4 holes for the hood struts.. the guy that sold me the hood sent me the plates for the 4 hood strut bolts. my question is.. what would be the best way to put those plates on? thanks in advance.

here are some pictures. (don't mind the crappy ness of it, still needs to be sanded and painted)

here is a picture of the underside of the hood. the spots for the 10 millameter bolts for the hood struts are just blank





here is a picture of the plates for the bolts to go into.

is it a big process to do this chris? or just slap the adheasive on the back of the plate and stick it where it needs to go?

Just clean each side with alcohol and clamp it on there. LEt it dry for a day and it's on for keeps I think there's a paint and body supply store down by you that will sell it to you.

You can just let gravity do it. It's not that big a deal
