Please Help w/ aftermarket hood
I just purchased an aftermarket fiberglass hood for my black gt/cs that didn't come with premade holes for the windshield washer nozzels, the first thought I had was the older gm cars that had the nozzles attached to the wiper arms themselves. Has anyone done anything similar to this or have another alternative to drilling holes in the hood.
If I do mount them on the hood, is there any special prepping or finishing I should do after drilling the holes.
Thanks.

Most aftermarket hoods come with a nozzel relocationset up that sits under the rear edge of the hood, instead of on the top like the stock hood. What brand do you have?
Thanks for the reference to Stage 3, I actually bought my supercharger there just didn't think to look for the nozzle kit.
Americaniron,
The hood is made by IPP and didn't come with any relocation setup at the rear edge. My hood is fiberglass but here is a pic of the carbon fiber version and a link to other views of it if the pic doesn't turn out. I think its gonna look bad ***. Does anyone have thoughts regarding different hood pins or locks. Again my main concern is any negative effects from drilling into the fiberglass.

Ask yourself this question, "How often do I use the washers?" If your like everyone else you most likely only use them once in a blue moon so why even worry about hooking them up at all? I don't use them at all but if I do find a need to use them I'll get the relocation kit and move them to the wipers so not to have to put any holes in the hood.
