Unless you want them for "Showing" I'd leave those puppies off!! Make a prop rod or two and save your hood. IMHO



That's true. The factory kept replacing the hoods under warrantee because they bowed in the middle. Finally the factory came up with the fix. Take the hinges off and use a prop rod. I did that to mine and it flattened right back out to match the fenders. My hood hinges for my AAR have 33 coils.
