Hood lifts installed

Redline just made loyal customer out of me. I installed the struts on my Stang a couple of months ago and they've been great. Today I received a package from Redline that contained redesigned hood ball-studs that solve a clearance issue that some people have complained about (but not me). That's the kind of customer service I can get behind!

Only clearance issue I've read about concerned the struts hitting the strut tower somewhere, but in the install instructions it tells you to push the hood ball stud as far to the outside as it will go and this will alleviate that issue.
Guess it pays to read and follow the directions.

They'll be back on sale somewhere.
I think it was CJ's that had them on a one day sale a few weeks ago but I didn't have the extra $$$ then. Just as well though as LRS had them cheaper when they put them on sale.
Just keep your eyes out for the next sale and don't forget the forum discount if you can't stand to wait.

My car is black so no color issues there but I agree about the stickers and will be taking mine off this weekend.

I like the idea of getting rid of the decals. It does look more like factory without them. As far as free advertising, if and when I finally get my car and install the Redlines, I will freely advertise them by word of mouth, without the decals. Good people and companies deserve praise when it's earned.

The redline decals look kind of cool but I'll probably be taking them off too soon, before they bake themselves on lol.
CJ Pony parts usually Includes them in their frequent 20% off sale and I believe they have a sale running now. Anyone interested check it out.

I second this. I got the same ones back in May and they have been great. I didn't have the clearance issue but was very pleased with the customer service as well. The original install was easy. I was a little worried about the replacing the ball-studs but that turned out to be very easy as well.

Looks good, Ltngdrvr. This is also the very first mod I will be doing, and like you I stripped the stickers off. The struts look much cleaner without them, and since my car will be black there's no issue for me in terms of paint matching. I still don't understand why Ford doesn't install these on their hoods. It's simple, easy, inexpensive and it looks SO much better than the hood prop.

They'll be back on sale with one of the Mustang parts places, seen them on sale twice now in the last 4 weeks.
