No, that is not normal. A properly designed system will not change anything when installed. Our gas spring sits perfectly horizontal when the hood is closed thus not putting any upward stress on the hood and will not cause this issue. This "bowing" is a common problem with that style hood...
Buy the BEST and you only have to buy them once! :thumbsup:

Since you only loosen one hood bolt to install our system there should be no alignment issues. If something was touching under the bracket or struts it would push the hood up and not down. I have a feeling this gap was there before you installed our QuickLIFT system and you are just now...
Why not purchase a system that is designed specifically for the GT350? :thumbsup:
Why is our system better?
1) Fit and finish: Our lower brackets fit perfectly and out unique insert system insures that they don't move around once installed. We designed an all new hood bracket specifically...
Honestly, I'm not sure. Since they copied everything else from our design, they probably copied our gas spring length as well.
Our logo on our gas spring is a sticker, so you can always peel it off if you want to go "stealth".
I guess we should be flattered that everyone is copying our design. :cool:However, let me tell you why our Hood QuickLIFT system is the BEST:

No, our hood QuickLIFT system is attached directly to the hood hinge and has no force on the hood when in the closed position. Unfortunately our system will not solve any "hood hop" issues.
Redline Tuning is excited to announce the release of our GT350 Hood QuickLIFT system! As the GT350 has unique hood, hinge assembly and fenders, we have designed a Hood QuickLIFT system specifically for this application. Our system uses our patent pending Bolt-In design for easy installation...
Hello,
The QuickLIFT PLUS features a Black E-coated gas spring with a 4 year warranty
The QuickLIFT ELITE features a Stainless steel gas spring with a 5 year warranty.
The only difference is the material finish, functionally they are the same. :thumbsup:
Yes, removal of the gas spring is easy. However, if you are going to remove your battery cover frequently we recommend cutting a small slit so removal of the gas spring is not necessary.
No, these will NOT cause any issues with the hood closing correctly. Since you are only loosening one hood bolt to add our bracket you are not affecting the factory alignment.
