Ya can't see it anyway when you're driving it instead of parking it.
I DO NOT CARE ABOUT HAVING TWO HOOD STRUTS/SUPPORTS. All I care about is the PLACEMENT of the existing one as it prevents the addition of a strut tower brace.

there are lots of vehicles out there with a single hood strut. I personally would not want one. A good old Hood support rod would be just fine for me. That in fact might be the fix if in fact the hood strut stays where the picture shows it. This is one of those things that we will have to wait until production actually occurs. But making or modifying one of the millions of hood support cables will be a easy process. for me, I much rather have a strut tower brace and a hood support rod, than a support shock.

So those of you worried about not having one, have not fears. We all will get this worked out.

Mike- Thanks for your response...you were probably as surprised as I was when you saw this...

I completely missed the December dollars days...so please PM me when you have another sale...I'll preorder the full Camaro setup. I finally had time to do my 'pedders research' and I'm satisfied (if not entirely excited!). I'm based in northeast Florida, so I'll be looking for an installer if you have any recommendations. Also, I'll be having 'other' work performed at Vengeance Racing in Atlanta...I have not spoken with them yet if they install/tune suspension setups.

Unfortunately I'm #3 in line at a small dealership...so I won't be one of your first.. :(
