I know. The hood sucks to put on. Does yours fit right? Mine sticks up a little in the passenger corner. I still have the factory struts. Im just a little easier when closing the hood. I don't slam it. But, you could go to Autozone and buy lesser tension struts. MAKE SURE to paint the whole front end. Did you cut open the hood scoop? If you want to convert to an SS, tear off the Z28 emblems BEFORE the paint job then stick on the SS badge. A lot of Camaro-ss.com Members are real pissed that I did that, but people like them should'nt try to over price there LS1 SS's and maybe Cloning would'nt happen so much. Bought a Z28 LS1 for $11,500 + $3,000 for conversion = $14,500 for a SS clone. I saved the money I would have spent on an original SS to buy 3:73 gears, SLP exhaust, HPPIII, level 1 suspension, SLP CAI, port + polished MAF, TB and other stuff. Rather have my modded clone than a stock SS for the same price. Just my .02 cents.
