How are you Closing your Hood?

[EOD Guy]

1. Over all 21 3/4
2. Front edge of hinge to center line of bolt 12 3/4
3. Front of curved part of hinge to center line strut ball 4 3/4
4. Top of fender to center line of strut ball 1/2
Hope this helps!

Thank you sir!

So I purchased the one that sticker fab touts..........

Overall ...........cheaply built.

There are zero instructions and you must rely on the advertisement photos. The fender strut supports bolt to where the plastic fastener for the OEM trim cover goes, so not a very strong mount by any stretch of the imagination. I was very concerned about this and was thinking up a modification to mount it to the fender bolt (what Sticker Fab was stating as a "two hole" mount), that was until I started to close the hood and realized the struts are very weak and just strong enough to keep the hood raised and there is very little pressure on the lower mounting ball. I'll keep my eye on it and any sign of stress, I'll beef up the mount. If the struts start to get weaker, which I think they will, I'll replace them with a stronger strut and again reinforce the mount.

Not a high quality kit, but will do the job........ maybe, time will tell.

I still think I’m going to hold off for Redline to come out with a kit.

I would be concern too, the LC hood is pretty heavy.

Unfortunately, out of stock. I wonder if that means that they haven’t even made them yet.

I was wondering the same thing

Honestly thats what I was thinking. I’m keeping an eye out hopefully sooner rather than later they will be available

It still has coming soon in the bottom part of their page. Might be a placeholder then, particularly when they state that I've gone forward in time. hahaha

I was trying to dwld the installation manual to see how it would be mounted......... it wasn't listed.
