Come on BY....everyone has opinions on looks, but positioned better, holds the hood better, and longevity?????? Where does that come from???? I'd suggest you build one and try it before cutting it down. I haven't tried the Redline item.....off the cuff I'd say it's a good item and reasonably priced. But I did the DIY to show that holes don't need to be drilled in your car and installation can be much easier than Redlines.....my prototype brackets are just that prototypes, since you're trashing my work I'll make a good set of brackets and post a picture this weekend.....and the quality of the components are every bit as good as Redlines
