Default NRG Hood Dampers Install?

I just had a guy buy some Chrome NRG hood Dampers from me. He wants to return them because they require drilling.. and he doesn't want to do that. At first he says they didn't fit.. now he doesn't want to drill. Is it just me.. Or is there something wrong with doing some drilling to install things? Correct me if I'm wrong.. But you can't use double sided tape to install your hood dampers!

Technically you're definitely right, but I can see how some folks wouldn't want to "swiss cheese" their car. If you're not already making it very clear in your item description that drilling is necessary for the part (some people just aren't mechanically savvy enough to know that, unfortunately), I definitely would now!
Either that, or recommend to him that he try some double-sided tape on them!

HA!I may do that. I think he just wants to pull a Wal-Mart on me and return them. Probably bent them to hell trying to install them. We'll see if I hear back from him..

Good point.. I'll go in and add that. I should think it would be a given.. But I suppose not.. I'll see what I can do.
