Thax. Pic's would be nice.... Someone had a pic of a black E-body at PRP at the CC race and the front of that hood had a BIG gap in it at speed..... you need at least 2 zues fasteners in the front... maybe 3 just to hold the front down. I have 5 down each side on my car.... use to have 2 at the rear near the edge of the scoop but I now use a separate scoop that has 3 zues fasteners just for the scoop then the hood holds the scoop down also

You can get them in different lengths to accomodate the wire retainer location (distance from panel), but you're better off having the bracket fairly tight against the panel. On my car I used a piece of 1 x 1/2 aluminum angle to support the hood & keep it straight (my hood's quite thin).
