wow what will somepeople think of next - looks good though
functional ? im not sure

it will fit for sure because it attaches to the hinge not to the hood like some.
but i personally wont recommend it because now the load is on 2 small area and the edges are square. If i were to design and mfg those i would just make one square block to have the same support as the stock hinge (larger area)

because when closing with hood dampers the edge of the hinge pushes against the hood and place a force but easily distributed by the hinge but with the standoffs its localized and may flex but im quite sure its ok
