Ok I have the fiberglass eye lids and the stillen hood dampers. Whats goin on now is my hood doesnt seem to shut all the way anymore. I really noticed it today when i went thru the car wash popped my hood and water was all over my intake, engine and hid ballasts. What do you guys think it is?

Its a design flaw, it happens when you install them like they tell you too. I had them and I ended up giving them away for free because of that and the facts that they don't open smooth like other cars.

There you go that's the tech page. Pretty straight forward process to adjust the hood. Hopefully that will work.
