So I talked him into building me a kit and he asked if I knew anyone else who was interested.
Original thread here:
Hood Dampners/ hold up thingies
Apparently, these kits don't bow your hood like the Z1/EVO-R kits do. I think Chris (?) has this kit on his car. Saw it at the fairfax meet a couple weeks ago and decided I really wanted one. Anyway, shoot him a PM or post here or something if you want him to build you one.
