Important note on expectations

This upgrade improves resistance to hood shake and adds a robust, premium feel. While it offers a potential improvement in hood stability and style, results can vary based on vehicle condition, driving environment, and maintenance practices. It’s designed to be a practical enhancement, not a guarantee of specific performance outcomes.
