Simple to install. I did it with help since I also installed a CF hood. Took about 45 minutes just taking my time. Looks factory and the struts seem to be very well made. My CF hood needs just a little bit of help to close from neutral, I have to give it a little nudge down to fully latch. I really like the fact that the full upright position opens further, it really gives you a lot more light/room and you don't have to work around the hood prop. Very highly recommended.
