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.

Yes
they actually bolt to the decklid..
and the body...
and i got mine from Mick and with no instructions...
EMPI Radar
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...

the number plate light wires, and the spring does'nt stay in place..
WTF..What to do?? any ideas would be great..

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
