never had one on mine

 

How do you prop your hood up with the gas shock?

 

thats what i was asking lol

 

I don't. My shocks not even attached.

 

haha ok guy then how does your hood stay up lol

 

I told u lol. I just put it up and it stays there

Ill take a pic or video tomorrow

 

haha ok cause im throughly confused lol

 

he has to use a piece of wood lol

 

Lol its like putting hood up how a normal person would only with no strut and it stays up

 

thats crazy wonder why or how it does that

 

Not true. Fred puts it in for peace of mind tho

 

Hinges are probably just on real tight

 

Bingo!

 

I use the gas shock on mine. going a year strong no issues.

 

click for video for the naysayers

 

wow thats crazy. are ur hinges tight? i use my stock hydrolic thing for my cf hood

 

you cant tell when the stock hood was on, with this hood tho you can tell theyre tight. it lifts fine no problem and whatnot you cant feel any resistance

 

metallicsc can i please just have your hood if not im going to steal it

 

lol, sell you the whole car and give you the hood for free!

 

nah i just want the hood lol where did you get your hood from

 

Modern performance.

 

to expensive for me

 

Wait till u see my cf trunk. Haven't seen what I'm doing with it on here yet

 

haha thats crazy and oh yea what you doing with your cf trunk mr? were all friends here no secrets lol

 

I just put mine on last night, and for the strut, we drilled a tiny hole at the top and released the pressure (air). We then drilled a hole at the top and the bottom of the smaller rod (goes inside the shock) just the same size as a cotter pin. So when i close the hood I put it in the lower hole, shut it and its good, when I open the hood I put the pin up in the top hole and the strut piece rests down on the pin Works GREAT! Right now i Have small keychain of a piston hanging on it...cause I lost the rist pin hahahaha. But I want to get one of the red "remove before flight" things they use on jets to hang on there :P

Ill take a short vid of it later so youget the idea...
and the pic of the hood
(I thought the "please drive slowly" was a good touch :P
Hi res pics will be up later, these are crappy cell pics haha
