Bistros on a rs hood

Hey guys. I got some hood blisters for my car and I don't know how to install them on an rs hood. I removed the hood insulation and you can see where the holes may line up. Bit what I don't know is how the blisters are held on. There studs that come from the bottom of the blisters are not threaded. Can any one fill me in on how they are held on? Thanks.

if they are stock blisters you need a z28 or iroc hood with louver/blister indents in it for the stock blisters to fit. There was a weird press fit nut on the back of my blisters when I took them off. If they are the stick on blisters for an RS hood I don't know about those so someone else will have to speak up.

I got stock blisters. But now that you mention it I think your right, I'll need some type of press fit nut. Oh well I'll just have to figure something out. Thanks.

If there are studs on the bottom you need an IROC or Z28 hood from 85-92. If they are the flat bottom type, I don't know how you're really suppose to attach them. Adhesive spray? 3m adhesive tape?

You'll need to beef up your suspension if you plan on installing two small restaurants on your hood.
