They were a little tough to install, but I think that would be true, regardless whose design I was using. My mitts are just a little large to get in some of those nooks and crannies. A couple of borked knuckles later though, I had the new latches installed and adjusted.

Way cool!

Just for reference mine were as hard as hell to get on also, I wanted locking ones bc the kids at my school kept opening my hood and playing around with crap

Those are nice looking too! I thought about locking latches, but it was hard for me to avoid the "cabled" look.

Of course, those cables are yet another place to catch a small limb, and drag it around the hood! :-)
