I've tried and adjusted the bump stops on the front and adjusted the hood by loosening the hood bolts as well. I just gave up and put the prop rod back on because that's the only thing that makes the hood look decent. Two pairs of hood struts just wasting space now.
I just got ps4s on this weekend and tramlining is also gone. Still needs an alignment correction but wanted to get tires on asap since I have limited time to enjoy the car since I live in Minnesota
I will have to double check my car when I get home now to make sure mine is flush and even. I used steeda and they went on super easy with 0 problems, although we did notice the washer line didn’t have a hole for the one on the hood brace so I just used the old one and didn’t have issues.Ford Performance and Redline Elites. Doesn't matter, both are awful with what my hood looks like afterwards. The strut causes it to pull the hood down more on the driver's side while the passenger side is the complete opposite and sits above the fender line while the hood is closed. It looks absolutely stupid. I installed these on my 17 with zero issues and no fuss whatsoever.
Here are some pics of my hood closed with them on:
Looks nice! I need somebody to do recaros!! I'm scared to be a first adopter )=Finished the Katzkin install…
You can do it! I did a set of Recaros on my 2018 GT. You just need to be patient; when you get frustrated and want to start rushing is when you make mistakes. Plan for the car to sit for a few days, and take them into the house onto a table and just work on them a little at a time. Took my probably 10 days total doing it that way but it was easy to walk away from when needed.

No, it comes with an adapter to fit your shift knob though. Raceseng Slammer.
Thanks Mike
Do you have a pic?? I'm more so worried of general appearance:-/
Sorry but I don't. I removed the stock covers to modify the seat to make it more comfortable, then put them back on. Here's the thread with a couple pics but not what you probably are looking for.
I have the exact same problem. Very frustrating why some of us do and some don't with these hood struts. Gonna remove mine as well, go back to prop.Ford Performance and Redline Elites.
