New Redline Elite hood struts installed

The new Redline brackets and sockets to mount the hood struts to the Shelby hood came in this week and I painted the brackets to match the car and installed them. Thought you folks might want to see the results. I am pretty pleased with them

Yep, I slipped with the rivet tool when the stem broke off and scratched the underside of the hood. The photo really makes it look MUCH worse than it really does due to the flash angle. I will touch it up and it will dissappear. At least its not on the outside!

Do the brackets come painted in factory colors now, or did you custom paint them
....NEVERMIND, I need to read instead of just looking at pictures
