between the body and the decklid hinge from memory. 6x 8 or 10mm bolts to mount the stand off to the body then another 6x 8 or 10mm bolts to mount the hinge to the standoff.
if you can - mark with a pen where the original bolts are both into the body and onto the decklid as if you ever go back to stock its sometimes a pain to realign the decklid.

You May be able to use a spacer to mount them so the engine lid can still open...
nothing is impossible
just a darn sight harder...

Once they are installed people will stop you to tell you your boot is open all day every day
the reason! they look silly.

i think they look good on late models but early models look wrong with them
but theyre the ones that need it
anything bigger than a stock 1200 or 1300 isnt getting enough air with no decklid vents
the spring doesnt work anymore with standoffs
so get a prop up stick or shove a screw driver down the tube part of the hinge braket
