Just had an incident last night at a local car show where the wind was so hard, it actually blew the hood off of the rod :icon14:. Luckily there was no damage. I just placed an order for a set and can't wait to get rid of the "rod".

John my man! Would you happen to know if these will fit with the pw:jdm covers? Wanna send me a set for test fit? haha

LOL, but they fit like most on the PW:JDM covers(rub a little).

Thanks, I noticed that order this AM.

How hard do they push the hood up? Our hoods are light and I have seen some struts that rocket the hood up at 50mph, lol.

They are softer force than some of the other modes I have seen first hand.
50mph... I would say no but they will lift on their own after about 1/3 the way up so if you lift it in a hurry as if you were helping it up it will likely have a little snap to it.
I went through 8 different strength sets until we found what we liked best, I reduced it substantially from where I started. I know we are using 50% less force than of some others I have seen out there.

Got a vid? I'm an easy sell if I can see it in action. Would swing by but I'm out of town for a bit.

I'll get a set next time I need to buy oil from you guys, got about 1k miles to go. John, you've got mail!

this mod looks strangly familar to me

Thanks Mults!

Where do the ball studs attach to? I just looked at the engine compartment and did not see where they would mount.
