Just installed the hood struts from RedLine tuning. Not too bad. It was pretty easy to install except for the fact I lost one of the rivets so I had to find a replacement. I also didn't double check one of the top hood brackets before I drilled so it's not 100% flush but it's hard to tell.

Overall it was a piece of cake to install and a good product. I have pics and I'll post them in a bit.

This little camera is amazing. I didn't realize it was THIS clear. Just got it 2 days ago.



Here's how high you have to raise it before the struts take over and raise it the rest of the way.

It was $9 shipping for me. They're well worth it.

I love mine! I think that group buy ends today, so if anyone wants them they better hurry. I think that was one of the most popular GB's I've ever seen.

They had something like 30 people in 2 days of announcing it. That is very good.

Mine came in yesterday so they will have to wait till I'm off again to install. I'll post up pics when I'm done too.
