Hawk's aftermarket hood blisters

Just wondering if anyone can help me on this one. I just got some of the aftermarket hood blisters from hawksthirdgenparts.com for Christmas and have a question about installing them. These are reproductions designed to fit the flat RS hoods. Does anyone else have these? Is there any thing or any one that can tell me where to drill the holes so they will be in the exact spot as the factory hoods? Because I would also like to get some 25th Anniversary heritage stripes and I want to make sure that everything goes together right.

If you pop the hood and remove the insulator (if it's still there). You'll find a suprise that will help you lay out the blisters in the correct spot.

The problem with that is the mounting bolts for the aftermarket ones are not in the same place as the stock ones. (Trust me they aren't, I looked up factory ones on the internet and compared them to mine)
