How hard is it to make these?
The first week I got my car I drove the car with a friend to a Mustang shop, he needed some parts, and there first thing when we popped the hood was how to fit a Mustang kit on the Z. Should have taken them up on the offer, but we were in a rush.

Depends. I had to have custom brackets made, to make them not look bulky and cheap. Also, I would not use other kits. The struts come in different lbs. The hood weight and angle is what determines that. Using the wrong lb strut, u can very easily bend the hood.

It's not rocket science, but it does take some testing.

Yeah, but the 370 has been out for a while now.
