What struts do you have? The hood should fully compress....r u. sure the install is correct? I read to flip the gas springs (if applicable) and that should help. R they install upside down? Just throwing some thought out there.... My Cervinis hood never bows and closes with just a foot drop no problem....Redline might cost more but they know the struts they make and sell..... JMO I am sure my Trufiber one will too (once painted)

did anyone ever figure out what hood strut to use with the Trufiber gt500 venom?
Is the one below any good?

Redline tuning hood struts will fit almost any fiberglass hood (esp from Cervinis). I have it on mine (Cervinis) and will put on my GTS-3 when painted (Trufiber)

I suggested Redline tuning but almost any others will work too! Hope it helps!

There are two people in our mustang club that had them on their cervinis equipped hoods, and they would bow up their hoods too. I'm not sure what brand they had. It's why I haven't got them either.

I also had the redline tunning kit and it didn't work with my seibon cf hood it would not fully compress and as a result bow the back edges of the hood
I'm looking for a sissor type kit that I saw on another mustang during the summer but have had no luck finding it so far, the design folded in half when you closed the hood and locked in place with slight pressure when it was up pretty neat wish I could find the place that makes it
