Great customer support, had to mount these backwards from the instructions and picture of item online differs from product in person. All in all, a good product.

My package was missing one of the locking pins upon opening and sorting out each parts. This will cause it to be loosen when opening or closing my hood. Also there were scratches on the hood dampers. The directions did provide pictures for install but did not provide any steps on how to install them.

Hello Carlo,
We hope you have received the missing pins and also a spare locking nut in case. We apologize for the inconvenience.
