Yes. 3 MAIN concerns!!!!
1. It does not close all the way, bc of the spring. I might be wrong, but It should be fixable if you replace the spring by one that smaller or doesn't have much tension.
2. Under the hood is not as thick as the original so the bottom of the hood will not touch the sensor that shows the hood is closed. It doesn't give you any error messages it just doesn't give you the notification of when you LOCK the car, the car will still beep and flash signals when you press the unlock button.
3. It does not bring the openings for the windshield washers, so your installer might have to make custom openings for these.
