Damn! I am sorry to hear it is causing some stress to your hood. Have you moved the mounting points yet? Placement of the mounting points and eventual angle have a lot to do with how smooth the lifts will work, as well as without causing undo stress to the hood itself.

Maybe the first hood that comes in might have some issues, but R&D. ;)

foreshadowing.......?

Ok .. I "scratched the updates", however any vendors out there care to comment on their development status?

TipsZ 03-09-2010 08:30 AM

I guess everyone gave up on the development of Hood Dampers for the 370z.

vipor 03-09-2010 08:31 AM

Seems like it

It seems like this product is risky bussiness for a vendor to make and put out on the market. No one wants to release a product that could potentaily bend the hood. Might have better resaults with a new design or different hood.

I'll follow-up with CTD and see where they are in the process. When I emailed them about a month ago they said they were close to releasing the hood dampers for the 370Z.
