I installed my kit yesterday...very easy and seems to work very well. I do think the hood sits up a little on both sides. My guess is the insulation may need to be trimmed back along the shock tubes to allow the hood to sit down flush. It did no say in the installation instructions but I put a small dab of grease on each ball before I snapped them together. I'll try and get some pictures up latter today.
