Got the kit today from Courtesy Nissan. It is very well made. All I had time to do tonight is to install the lower mounting brackets. You have to trim the plastic over the bolt first. I used my Dremel tool and tried to make it as neat as possible. I also took the pieces off first to make them easier to work with. There are pictures and instructions on Courtesy's website. Anyone who is interested might want to check it out. Here is the link to the instructions: http://www.courtesyparts.com/instruct/314-001_1.html
I will mount the hood brackets and the dampers tomorrow night. That shouldn't take long. I'll let you know how it works then.

I finally got around to completing the install today. The hood dampers look very nice and work even better. Overall it is a great mod. I can't be happier with the fit and finish.
If you want to see pictures go to Courtesy Nissan's site above and look at the instructions. I will try to post some pictures of my car later.

NRG Hood Dampers!
http://www.nrginnovations.com/
They're very affordable, they install in minutes (not days), with NO Drilling into your fenders, NO melting covers with hair dryers and NO carving large slots into fluid covers to accommodate the new dampers. They won't rust from the elements: NRG Hood Dampers are equipped with Stainless Steel ball joints and connectors. They have 2 types available for purchase, one for lightweight hoods, and another for the standard OEM hood. You just have to specify what your requirements are when you order. They are also available with Chrome casings, Silver or Carbon Fiber.
It's just a direct bolt-on MOD that will function perfectly time after time.
