Just a guess,, thay might not fit at the factory width,,

I would go with the daytona hood above and put the blisters on that. Thought about doing that myself.

I've got a closer pic of that if you want it,, those ahem 'blisters' are merely white vinyl pieces stuck on with velcro

the only way that i can see this happening and with good taste would be to use the jongbloed hood, which is wide to give you enough room for the blisters. it could look pretty sweet, i just dont have a good picture of one to photoshop. btw, i cant stand the daytona turbo hood either.
