Looks nice.


I considered the Redlines, but didn't want to drill. I like my version - no more prop for me!

I really wanted to do these on my SS hood but after speaking to Tasca they advised they had a lot of problems with the hood struts bowing the fiberglass hoods and they didn't recommend it so I ended up avoiding it. Have you ahd any issues with bending or bowing associated with the struts?

true statement when dealing with hood struts that are shorter and anchor close to the hinge edge as most do, but these are almost half way up the hood (28.5"). i've had no issues with these with bowing, warping or the like. their very sturdy and solid.

Hmmm sounds like I may retrofit these when the car gets back from Tasca. I really don't like prop rods after I watched by a jeep hood get creased when the wind caught it and slammed it against the top of the windshield. Luckily I guess it didn't slam down on top of my Dad as he was working under the hood at the time!
