hey dakine, can u kinda close the hood and tell me if the rods go in that little crease where the VIN number sticker is or if they kinda just go to the left of that. I am wanting to get some of these for my Kami hood but if they go where that little VIN number sticker goes then i can't do them cause i have a hood switch there for my KILLERGLASS and i don't want the rods pressing down on it and doubt it will close all the way if it does. Understand what i mean?

Elijahtc

anybody?

nice diy.. does anyone know where I can get some dampers for the hatch? I have a cf hatch and they said the stock ones were too strong...

I installed my NRG dampers today and now my hood doesn't sit flush. Anybody else have this problem?? I tried to adjust them and even though it's a tight fit they don't seem to be hitting anything.

i still need to know if the hood props go towards the engine by when closed or stay on that inner lip of the fender? i have a hood switch there and need to know if the dampers are gonna be stopped by that or not

bump....need to know this asap

Question here, arent we supposed to point that ball towards the outside?



anyone have pics of the hood close?

Dakine

sorry didnt know this thread was still alive. anywho i'll be seeing my car in 2 weeks so i'll try and snap some pics. but ace i did try it like u said but when i closed it, my hood doesnt lock and has an open gap so this way worked out for me.

cool.. I did mine with the ball pointing the outside and it locks and closes fine, i just did a lil adjustment before tightening that hood bolt.. I just need to know if its normal to see just a lil bit more gap on the upper part of the hood.. im gonna see another tc tonight hopefully the gap i see is just my imagination lol

^ nice pics man. i need to update mine since i got a slr now. anywho im not sure if its normal to have a gap. thats why mine was flipped cause i had that gap as well when the ball was outside.

so no gaps with ball inward? update on pics would be great.. much better for DIY

^^ i did it the same way as ace. i adjusted mine to the point where theres a little more less gap than aces but i pointed mine inwards before and it didn't close at all. if you could update some pics that would be great dakine. when you put it inwards with the oem did it have NO GAPS?
