These look very cool.
But the way they 'lock' into place is a bad design. We have had a few of the plastic clips break. There needs be a better way to lock them into place.

Look nice and the latches are solid. However the plastic snaps that hold the latch closed broke within 2 openings of the hood. The latch still seems to stay closed well, but it is worrisome. I would uninstall but the old latches (OEM) had dry rotted. 2012 JK 2-Door.

The latches look good but that where it stops.
Installation is pretty basic but very little ways of adjusting and align.
Latching isn't the easiest and unlatching is even harder, and if your fenders are painted you should place a rag on fender to protect finish from damage.
Yesterday, when I returned home. Discovered that one of the bolts had loosed up and fell on to the fender. Lucky, it was still on fender.
At this point I will be changing to something else.

Look good until the retaining piece broke off

While they do look great, the tolerances on the buckle parts are way too tight. I had to sand down the powdercoat on the insides just to get them to function (a little better). They are also very hard to get buckled, even adjusted at the lowest setting. I'm going to keep them and see if they "wear in", but I should've ponied up for a nicer set, or new OEM. I would not recommend these.. maybe just a bad set?

I really wanted to like these. They look really nice but are way too tight. I can't adjust them to be reasonable. One side is fine, the other so tight you have to flex the hood to close and open. The plastic 'lock' broke first time I closed and opened on both sides. Going back to the stock ones. Very disappointing.
