Default veilside hood dampers?

I have a veilside hood, and i dont see any location the hood dampers could attach to, since most are bolt on for the oem hood. Would dampers require drilling for the veilside or did i overlook something.

yeah they dont bolt to the hood at all. If veilside uses the OEM hinges, you're fine.

Nice. Apprec. How do you like them Emil? Can you open the hood fast, or do you kinda of need to open slow and allow the pistons to slide?

I just pop it open,and let it go up by itself,and it's reasonably fast,normal I guess.
Should be about the same with yours,as C.F.weights about the same as AL.hood.
Same thing to close it,I just lower it,and then I drop it,from about 14"-16",like OEM.
They have a groupbuy,on some dampers NR,I guess,not sure,maybe a little cheaper.
Got mine from Evasive.
