So this is the before. It took me literally 20 minutes to install, and it was pretty painless.

And after. One thing I noticed, is that the hood doesnt open as far anymore, and its quite stiff to put down. BUT, that being said, it looks awesome, and you don't need to fiddle with your prop rod any more

Some notes if you do this... The included ends on the gas shocks they give you are wrong, and need to be unscrewed and replaced with the OTHER ones they put in the bag. Not sure why they don't just come from the factory like this, but whatever. 2 second swap out.
The kit costs 90$ USD, and I think it ships free to the states, but it ended up costing me 150$ CAD.... stupid CAD.... But totally worth it. I love the way it looks and functions. I just grab onto the hood latch (no grease ) and pull down on that to shut it.
