Hood Strut Question

[Justin]

Maybe I made a mistake and didn't buy the redlines... all of you seem to have had good results.

if it bolts into the hood hinge then yes you have the mrt/mmd design that IMO is garbage.

redline is the way to go. raises the hood a little higher too

Hey Gammadan, Couldn't agree with you more with the Redlines..anything else would be a mistake. How did you make out at Lime Rock in the rain?

All newer Mustang stock hoods are aluminum, not fiberglass. They have been aluminum since the intro of the '05 models. Perhaps the nose/grill piece is plastic on the 13 & 14 models
The Tiger Racing hoods are fiberglass & I believe they offer a carbon fiber one as well.

My hood was chipped, not the nose/grille piece mentioned. Either way, the chip was large enough that I saw the fiberglass weave, and not alloy underneath. *shrug*

Maybe the top and bottom of the hood has a fiberglass matt sandwiched in-between the two aluminum pieces to keep them from rubbing together causing squeaks?

I know my '11 hood was aluminum because I drilled it for hood pins. Maybe the '13 hoods were changed to FRP, but I think we would all have heard that.
