Fiberglass hoods

Ok I know some of you guys are running drag bugs which probably have fiberglass frontends or hood. Im wanting this one hood sooooooo bad BUT it has no drilled holes in it at all, how did you guys install them on your cars? Keep in mind that mine is a street car and not strip car.
Heres the hood Im going to get #1227

My dads not sure how he would drill the holes to hook it into the latch but he wont let me get it if its going to be a pita and crack if he drills in it for the latches and the handle so thats why I'm asking.
Thanks guys.

Most people would use "hood pins", or "flush mount quick fasteners" you can get through someone like www.jegs.com, or www.summitracing.com to mount it. Some companies (like Creative Car Craft) provide mounting for stock hood hinges, and hood handle though.

Hood pins I thought about but that would look odd do to the shape of the hood.
Flush mount quick fasteners, Im not sure what those are, I looked but wasnt sure what I was looking at, it looked like a screw to me.

The flush mount fasteners are like a screw (only turns a quarter though) There are several types. Some people call'em "zuzs" fasteners. they are found in ALL types of racing were parts are removed alot...
