My hood struts damaged the hood, so when it get's prepped and painted, the struts are coming off. The hood also has to get adjusted near the hinges since it sits up too high in that area. I had no problem with their customer service when I got the hood though. Click on the sig image for pics.

If you want to see where the struts damaged the hood, let me know, I have to take new pics for that.

I would like to see the pics of where the struts damaged the hood if you don't mind taking some pics. Mine has been on for a while now with no problems so this makes me curious.

Ok, I'll take the pics tomorrow. My painter showed me where the stress from the struts affected the hood, it flexed in the same exact spots where the struts are at.

Here's the left side

Here's the right side



Car was filthy when I came outside this morning. I had to dust off the hood in order to get a clearer look for the pics. The bumps are alot more noticeable in person.
