Default MRT Hood Struts

Has anyone installed these? I was wondering how hard it was to bolt them on the hood and not mess up hood alignment. A 2 person hard job?
Thanks,
WC

Takes less than 10 min, 1 person.... Looks the way the factory should have done it...

Easy to do by yourself. Mine lined up perfectly with no adjustment needed. You will love them! access to engine compartment is much better and gets rid of that stupid hood prop.

does anyone know the difference between the mrt struts and the classic design concept ones, they both look the same to me.
they both install the same way also (no drilling or modifying).

They look identical except the MRT offer the powder coat. I did see that the CDC site has the install instructions and it is very simple.
I would say the diffrence if the lable or sticker they put on them.
