Fiberglass hood and hinges

I just got a six-pack hood from AAR/Stinger and it bolted up to the original hinges and hood latch with no trouble at all.

However, the lighter springs I bought turned out to be WAY too light (I told the seller it was a 28 lb bolt-on hood, not a flimsy race-weight type) so now I either have to pull the fenders again, or make a prop rod to replace the piece of 2x4 currently in use ;)
