Stock hood hinge upgrade

What do you guys think about these?
I replaced the stock hood hinges with hydraulic ones from a '97 Taurus. They work great! Here is a shot of the upper mount. I used a couple of waterpump studs to align it with the bottom mount. There is a clip the holds the bolt in place that was supplied with the support. I just drilled a hole in the fender to secure the bottom. I was having some issues with hood alignment. When I installed these it fit almost perfectly the first time.
