Windshield Washers with Aftermarket Hood?

Can anyone with some time to kill explain how the windshield washers were set up from the factory (where the plumbing was routed, measured location on the hood of where the washers should go)? My car has had a cf hood (Seibon DS, if that helps) as long as I've had it, and it doesn't seem to have any markings for where the holes for the washers would go (some cf parts I've seen have little knubs where you need to drill holes for mounting hardware). I have what I think is the complete set of hoses, connectors, and nozzles that should connect to the reservoir, but obviously I don't want to find out where the holes in the hood should go by trial and error. I wouldn't really know how to test how the washers are aimed since the hood is in the way

Searching brought up the images in this post https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati.../#post10309918 which I guess give me a little bit of an idea how the washers were originally setup, though at least my aftermarket hood (unsurprisingly) doesn't have the bits on the underside that are working as a guide for the washer plumbing in those pictures. I was hoping someone else who had installed washers in their aftermarket hood might have some guidance.

Thanks!

Huh. Is it the same style, or a different one? I suppose mine could be a replica, I don't know for sure since I didn't purchase it. Though this particular style doesn't seem popular enough to merit replicas and the metallic-looking seibon tag on the underside looks legitimate enough...
