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.
