Prior to ordering I knew of potential issues with the hood struts. I decided to take pictures and make a video of mine during the installation so I could verify any issues on my own car.

The hood bulge isn't much, some people probably wouldn't notice.

Here is the video,

I'm one of those "wouldn't notice" people. I guess I really haven't paid close enough attention to see if mine raises at all. Now I'm going to wonder.

mine looks exactly like that, i tried filing it down with nail file (don't ask the first thing that came to my mind) anyways i think i took like a hairline of plastic off so i mean the bulge isn't crazy but its not what i expected, but is there any chances of water coming through to the engine bay ?
