[QUOTE="hardhit99, post: 613331, member: 6591"] They aren't for looks, i don't show my car and i don't really care if people think the hardware under my hood is ugly. Who really would unless you were building a show car? I don't really consider hood struts "customization". It's just an easier way to get the hood up and to stay up. I wouldn't worry about it warping. The brackets are mounted to the hood reinforcement structure. Not to mention, the struts aren't pushing up on the hood when it is closed. The force of the struts is pushing out towards the front of the car when the hood is down which couldn't really cause warping even on a hood that was not reinforced. Ford claims that they do not use hood lifts on the Mustang because the hood is fiberglass and it can crack, but that wasn't a big concern to me especially since the brackets are mounted to the structure, not to the hood itself.
