WOW that looks terrible. Why don't you just buy some CDC/MRT hood struts.

brace

FYI, the hoodbraces sell real well to the car show crowd. Yes they are not for everybody
Being the biggest mustang drag race sponsor (NMRA, FFW, WFC, ORSCA etc.) UPR has found that the enthusiasm of car show participants is at least as avid as that of the racers and we now sponsor and support many car shows also-But please don't use the "R" word. J/K

MRT's are my favorite. They use the stock holes and are out of the way.

I have been very pleased with the OEM look of the Redlines, not to mention the polished 316 SS struts look very nice in the engine bay.

Those are incredibly ugly. Where do designers get these ideas? They look as if made from an erector set.
