The brackets that go on the hood have a huge amount of flex and are held on by 1 bolt.

To mount the ball joints on the fenders you have to cut weather striping out of the way.

You still have a possibility of it striking the plastic trays that cover the batter/brake booster.

Granted it is a "mod" and requires some fitment work, I feel this is a poorly put together kit.

Provide some brackets that move the shocks to where they dont hit anything and so you don't have to cut the weather striping and charge 150 bucks for a "decent" kit
Im sorry, i guess you didnt read the entire thread.

First, there is no flex at all on the bracket that goes on the hood. Moving the ball joint over may in fact cause the damper to rub hit even more, across the entire cover and IMO i dont think to long brackets coming towards the center of the engine will look good :/. Its kind of hard not to hit anything when the tray is in the way of everything

You do not need to cut the entire weather striping.
