Yep, quite a few of us have.

It's a little tight to latch at first but gets better. No more hood flutter for me.

When they are first installed they are real tight, but after a while they slightly stretch & are easier to close. Hood flutter will be no more.

Installed these the other day. I couldn't believe how stretchy the stock latches were, felt like rubber bands. Now I can reinstall my hood spring.
