Looks good!
Justin, they have two different kits... one for a stock hood and one for an aftermarket carbon fiber hood. The pistons are different for the lighter hoods.

Yeah the Carbon kit comes with struts that have 40% less force. But either way, they would never really FLY UP because there is some much dampning in the strut charge. So its always smooth .
