I bought the Elite kit. Have not installed it yet. Kit looks good. Instructions are clear. You will need a pop riveter. It does not look hard to install.10 holes.Take your time. Read the instructions a couple of times.Call Redline Tuning and talk to one of the techs.They are user friendly. HTH

I haven't personally used it, but from what I've read over the last year or so on the forums, most people are very happy with them for the price. I don't know of anyone who didn't purchase the deluxe/elite kit, but I think it's probably a good investment.

You can buy that rivet gun you need for around 10 bucks at Home Depot or a store like that.

My Dad has them on his stang. He's had them for a couple of years now and they work great. I wanna get a set too, but I'm waiting till I'm done doing performance mods.

Easy to install, work great, would do it again. Go for it.

I have the regular, not Elite, kit. Paid $59 in 2003 and very satisfied. You may want to shim your hood latch bracket if your hood was adjusted at the factory like mine (I had to drop it from 24" to latch properly). Now I just push lightly after lowering it.

I bought the regular black ones. They look good, and I would do it again. It's a lot better than the stock hood prop.

I just bought the Elite one. Should get it tomorrow. Having a friend put it on since he has a rivot gun. I've seen afew people that have the cheaper $60 one and they look like junk and their falling apart. Maybe they are'nt installing them correctly.

they rock. took my friend about 15 minutes to install them.

I've had mine for over a year now, and it still works great....and I have the standard kit.

I'll have to try that shim trick though now....I too have to drop my hood from a pretty good height to get it to latch - it did that before the redline struts too, though.

Been on my car a while also...one word of advise. Measure 2 twice...drill once.

I drilled out the holes in the wrong spot and had to bondo them up and start over...other than that they work excellent.
