The nubs on the 12524 hood are rounded as they are meant to provide a place to grip when mounting the hood. They do not hold onto the Asph's hood cap very well. The nubs on the 12526 have a sharp edge at the back for gripping the hood cap (still not secure enough in my books). That is it. The shape of the nubs is the only difference between the hoods.
