A Critical Consideration....
Is the distance between the two hinges. Mine got mounted a little too far apart. We thought we'd get better support (less twisting) for the aluminum lid during opening and closing. The result on my car is that the distance between the hood and rear deck of the car is too close (remember both surfaces are convex so the get closer together when the hood is opened) at the center when the hood is open. When I open my hood, I must 1) get a clean rag between the hood and rear deck at the center of the car and 2) insert a roll of the Blue paper towels (must be blue - it matches the paint!) between the window and hood to limit the over center travel. Wish I could share a picture, but somehow never felt like photoing my errors...:rolleyes: I'd run out of film very quickly.
cheers
