They literally won't talk to me anymore. As in they are no longer responding to emails.

That being said, I did some general research and overall, hood dampers can cause undue stress and cracking on the fiberglass underframe of CF hoods, as well as bulging at the hood hinge points if the dampers aren't lower PSI dampers.

Just wondering if anyone has had experience or issues w dampers on CF hoods. Not Seibon-specific; I know they're a trash company with quarter-azz fitment "guarantees." I highly recommend that no one on this forum ever, ever buy Seibon.
