It works 10 times better than anything I have ever used.....including Never Dull, Flitz, Blue Majic.....try some!

^^^ very nice gsgottag! Are the brackets paint or PC?... I was planning on black PC for the brackets but then started wondering if it would raise the height enough to cause hood rub?...
Edit: I just realized the title says PC... I presume you have no rubbing issues with the brackets against the hood-liner... PC is thicker than paint but probably not thick enough to raise the height (I could be wrong)... have you checked?

Brackets and bar are PC. Actually the brackets were PC'ed twice bc the guy did the brackets with the chrome first by accident so he did it again with the red overtop. I had no install issues whatsoever. You just need to follow Richie' instructions. Bar is set to the lowest setting. Careful with the bolts, the ones in the back are tricky to start the thread, I had to go fishing for one of them...not fun.

I wanted to update my review. It's been on and off the car for about two weeks now. Off, only because I wanted to test fit it on an 07 sedan.
When I had the bar off the car, the difference was more pronounced. I swear, I can't stand the flexing from the front end, even in every day driving.
I've got to say that I love the bar. My best friend said he could even notice the one and only time he's been in the car since it was installed. His comment was unprovoked, as well.

Just to confirm, there is no rubbing on the hood. There is actually a hood liner on the inside of the hood. The bar does put some pressure on the liner but the liner is soft enough to flex. I tested this theory by laying some tape on the bar with the adhesive facing up. The tape transferred to the liner but not by much. The liner may take a set one day but in no way am I concerned about it doing any damage to my hood.
