Installed my GrimmSpeed hood struts today! The install was pretty straight forward once I received the kit. I did it by myself using the stock hood prop to get the brackets bolted onto each side of the hood, then lifting the hood up while I was on each side to do the lower brackets. I'm very happy with the ease of install. Took me about 20 minutes.

I've since removed the stock hood prop as I don't need it anymore. The fit and finish of these struts is amazing and they are perfectly balanced as advertised! Better than OEM quality, in my opinion. For what @GrimmSpeed sold them to me for at group buy pricing they are absolutely a steal. I'm very happy with the additional room they allow to work in the engine bay!
