The fit was a bit tight but still made it work and the installation was easy and straight forward. Really love having it and makes working under the bonnet much easier. Was impressed on how far it would open as well and actually stay open. Would recommend to anyone looking to get some bonnet shocks!

Thanks for all the help on this.

Nice!
No fitment issues? Does it close nice and flush?
I had some older nrg non carbon ones that worked fine on the stock but didn't fit properly with the seibon hood. The sides of the hood wouldn't sit flush, I think the struts were a little too thick.

At first try it was a bit tight but then adjusted the brackets etc and it lined up well, plus the replacement bolts provided for the fender fitted with no issue. Only thing I would say, is to be careful tightening the bolts on the fender, can be tricky getting a standard spanner on there to tighten. Drove the car and no difference in the overall look (from cabin) or didnt notice any vibrations or rattling of the bonnet.
