Default hood strut kit?

I was wondering if the hood strut kit would work with an aftermarket fiberglass hood?

They do (on most) but all the ones we have done bow up the sides of the hood a tad.

Mine worked fine with my Cervini. No bowing at all.

Works great with an aftermarket hood that is fiberglass. Be careful and measure twice and drill once!

That SEMA car has severe bowing of the hood. A better quality hood wont do that at all. I've got them on my new hood, and no bowing at all. In fact the glass hood is much stronger than the OEM hood.
