Not yet, a friend told me to wait a little because they may settle but
I dont think they will because like I mentioned those plastic bits.

Is the outer tube towards the front of the hood, or the rear of the hood?

And it's rubbing on the plastic? That's odd, same setup I have (Kelleyefields set).

The feedback on the kellyefields are much better

Yes, right behind where the foam is there is a plastic portion that sticks up. well the hood struts are hitting it (evidenced by marks on the plastic piece)

Well I would say it has it's +'s/-'s as well... It's not 100% perfect, but a good first effort.

How does the lower arm (the one at the fender) mount to the body? Is it just a post screwed in somewhere, or is it a post on a plate that is then bolted down?

Post on a washer bolted down. The washer can go between the metal fender and plastic or on top of the plastic (I tried both and bulge/rubbing were present for both)

How much thread does it have? Could try putting some washers on it to raise the top of the post up? If you're just barely rubbing 1 or 2 washers should get you some clearance..

Did the post that is in the Hood mount plate have to screw into the plate as well, or is it welded on?

If possible, remove both posts and swap their positions?

Don't give you much in terms of trouble shooting do they??

Does it do the same thing on Both sides, or just the Drivers side?
