Oh that’s nice did you have to do any drilling? That’s my only thing not getting it!

I actually didn’t drill it. Going to see if there’s any flexing or anything before I decide if I’m going to. I most likely will drill the two holes. Seemed solid with just the one bolt in the hood. With the way the struts mount and the brackets, it really doesn’t seem like it’s needed.

I just got done installing mine. Their directions suck. You’ll need an m12 socket for the bolts and a m5 Allen wrench. One thing they don’t tell you, you can’t have the prop rod in when you put the struts on. The struts won’t allow you to lift the hood enough to remove the oem prop. You can rest the hood on the outside of the hole where the prop sits in the hood. You have to use a little force but it will pull out once you connect the struts.

The photo was taken just before I realized I couldn’t get the prop out. Haha

You care take a few pics of it?

No, I never drilled the second set of holes in the hood. The one seems to hold it fine.
