I've read of a few people having issues with these drawing the hood down too tight. These are adjustable, right?

I've read the same thing. I have them on my Jeep and on my wife's Jeep. They are tight (no hood flutter) but they aren't making the hood contact the body. I guess it's a hit or miss thing and I got lucky...twice.

I don't remember from 2 yrs ago, if they were adjustable.
The fit was good and still is.
The vast majority are satisfied with them. Maybe people who had problems had twisted hoods.

What exactly did you have to do? Trying to put them on with XRC armor now.

I'v got some on the way. My parents ordered me a set for my birthday to go with the new Stingray Hood I ordered last week.

I'll let you know how I like them over OEM
