Yea after more and more research, struts do tend to cause stress on fiberglass hoods, especially VFN hoods which is what I have. Ill pop those suckers off tomorrow and use a hood prop until I find a set designed for fiberglass hoods.

I tried the one strut trick, and it bends the hell out of the hood.
