The craftsmanship
It's what I need.
worked great
Quality not as good as original.
This is a cheap replacement kit. The bolts that come with this should be replaced with harder bolts and the threads though be chased. I stripped the top of the hood hinges by with a 1/4 wrench.
At first glance seems very nice. I purchased the "package" for the price. However, I have to review this in individual parts. The hood latches seem to be just fine. The windshield tie down is as well. The hood hinges look nice but are very "loose/flimsy" so I elected to keep OEM and have painted. The two windshield supports on the hood are completely "useless". They appear to be a rubber coated piece of "all thread" bent to fit. They use a simple washer which "crushes" the rubber coating upon itself the more you tighten these. Having the OEM ones stripped and plasti dipped to reuse. All-In-All, set was a "bust" and expensive for (2) use-able parts within in the set.
