^^^^^ This is the same info I've been waiting on. I don't know if you've had a chance to reply to my sales guy but I had asked if when you unbolt the hood from the hinges do they move freely?

And then my next question was the same about the car being in an accident that may have damaged something, because that hood isn't the same color as the rest of the car. Knowing more about that would certainly help solve this problem.

And the final question I had was about any additional dynamat or anything that would weigh the hood down. To my knowledge there are no steel replacement hoods, but some sort of straight weight modification to the hood was my final thing to look at (which involves weighing the hood, I even provided a target weight).

So trust me, I've been trying to figure this out from day 1, but I haven't got any information back. Seeing the thread and knowing that the car has gone through 4 different sets of hood struts and seeing a different color hood on the car is a clear indicator to me that we need to look elsewhere than the hood struts themselves.
