I use the short drop, but the right side on the '68 sometimes misses and I baby that corner down. '80 closes every time without a hitch.

Thanks for all of your responses with regards to the hood.
What about detailing the flat black side pipes?

Try some glass cleaner on the black pipes. Simple green may also work well. Obviously, be sure the pipes are cold. You might also shoot an e-mail to Hooker to see what they recomend.

Anybody remember that we're not supposed to push down the hood because of the "micro-dust particles" that might scratch the paint?

That's what I do.
