It was rather tedious to install these with the recessed Allen fasteners, not sure the washers included were the best option. I love how they look, they are rock solid and the aligns perfectly but now my hood opens several inches less than the OEM hinges! The throw on the gas cylinders might be off? They are a fraction of the price of what a Ring Brothers set goes for so I will not return them but I really do with the hood opened up all the way.
