Everything seems fine. The price is ok compared to some others. My only concern is that the ball joint that attaches to the top of the hood is flat while the OEM version had a 10-15 degree angle. It seems to be snug and secure enough, but not as snug as the OEM version. There's really a lot of pressure on them and hopefully they can hold on for a while. I used the strong arm brand on another Lexus that had an angle on the ball joint and felt a bit heavier. Installed on a 2010 RX350 with 115,000 miles on it.
