When I go to the lcl. car shows I only open the right side of the hood any way, so my alt. is out of site. The other reason I like to leave the left side closed is one show I went to last sunner some one pulled my oil dip stick out and when they put it back in they did not squeze the handle in and when I got home I had oil on the fire wall and around the dip stick hole.
To me the alt. is far better then the org. gen. jmo
