I had my eye on a pair of Steeda hood struts, but now that I see so many options in this thread, I'm having second thoughts. Maybe there's something even better out there? You'd think a thread like this would clear things up, but quite the contrary, I'm now more confused than I was when I started reading it.
What I like about Steeda's version is that its fixture seems to have quite a big surface, which should make it less likely to bend the hood. Causing stress and possibly flex in the hood at the attachment point would be my biggest concern. Is there any other set that has an even bigger surface than Steeda's?
Secondly, it seems that trunk lid struts can sometimes cause the trunk lid to sit a bit higher than before, at least on one side. Has anyone noticed the same phenomenon with the hood? Is the hood still flush with the body after the installation of the struts?
