[QUOTE="SnakeBit, post: 687165, member: 2522"] I don't like the idea of blind rivits. The hood is fiberglass and [B]needs[/B] a washer on the inside for added strength. As far as making holes in the hood, they are on the inside and hidden by the hood blanket (unless you took yours off completely). The struts are reversible, and it shouldn't make any difference whether the shiny side is up or down. However, the strut part might have the most force on it, so putting it on the fender (shiny side up) makes some sense. Then again, the difference in sheer force between the 2 sides [I]should[/I] be negligable (college physics starts to kick in from a LONGGGGGG time ago). IMO, place them the way you like best. Finally, with this mod, you can open the hood with one hand (so you don't have to put that qt. of oil down first so you can set the prop rod). That alone makes it worth the price. [/QUOTE]
