Update:
I was going to drop off the dampers on Sunday on my day off, but the guy that is painting them is going to Jax for car show.
I am going to try and get them to him as soon as I can

Yeah..I know it's a piece of cake, but there are usually one or two little things that can make anything go smoother. Good tip on the Lithium, I'll remember that. I'm already thinking of ways to make the apparent gap not so noticeable, but won't really be able to tell until I get them and see.

The install took all of about 15-20 mins with prep time. Definitely go with lithium grease, the stuff they give you does royally suck. Pick up some good thread lock fluid too. Ideally assemble them the night before using the thread lock fluid so it can set overnight. Other than that, it is pretty straight forward.
Also I'm working with a buddy who owns a machine shop to see if we can fab a better bracket for the hood. We're hoping to come up with a thinner version made of Aluminum, so the gap is even less noticeable.

As far as using aluminum, I can get 5083 grade aluminum and at 1/8 should be more than strong enough.

just installed mine this weekend, took about 15 minutes, works wonderful, the gap isn't as noticeable as i thought it would be, compared to the picture that's posted in this thread.
