Whoa--them are some big struts. What kind of pressure do they exhort? I would be concerned about the carbon fiber hood. Looks great though!!

They run about $ 100.00 and I don't think they are to strong for the hood. They work great and have just the right amount of pressure.

Cool Rocket, is the $100 price for both struts??? Do you think they are strong enough to hold my hood up??? I have a stainless steel underhood mirror that adds quite a bit of weight...Thx

Hey Yelosub--I have the Tein hood dampers and they are very strong. You really have to push down on the hood hard to get it to close. I was more worried that his struts would be too strong for a fiber hood.

I have the basics and those work really well too. I know dugzillaxb has a cf hood with the same stainless steel under hood with the basics so I don't think you would have any issues no matter which set you get.
