Well, a few updates in the last couple of weeks. We couldn't find weaker springs so went with new hinges. It made a ton of difference. Basically, if you can't get your hood to sit down in the back, buy new hinges. It's probably not the springs. I have it adjusted enough now that we can send it back to paint for a week of touch up.

It should go in next Tuesday and hopefully out by Friday. We'll see. In the meantime, here are a few pictures showing the latest hood fitment...
