I just ordered new OE style hood hinges, are you telling me there's a chance they're no better than the old worn out hinges straight out of the box?
I will say this. The action of them is new so they spring up and down real nice and easy compared to the old original worn out ones. But 2 things I don't like about them.

1. When you shut the hood, I have go push down the back of the hood because they pop up a little due to their action. so each side go push them down to match the cowl level. This could be an adjustment thing. If I lower the back of the hinges down it might help so they go lower, but i'm afraid if i do that it won't line up right in the front of hood....

2. While driving around, they pop back up on me, back of hood, so after a while of driving i have to push them back down again.

It's not terrible, but different hinges would alleviate this. And of course, these things are flimsy where billet or something else are stronger.
