Rotary Extreme
+1 for the Rotary Extreme kit. Love the mounting bracket and the stud is recessed for enough up so that your hood sits flush. Plus with the two nuts/bolts, the bracket does not shift.

NRG has polished and carbon fiber sets. I have had a set of the polished ones on my FD of a couple of years with no issues.
