Hey guys I make these for guys here around the area. I fab a mounting bracket that attaches at the hood lift points therefor elimating pressure on the hood. There is no cutting only taking two bolts off where the hood attaches and place this bracket on there and then removing a plastic pop washer in the front of the battery/power steering cover. no cutting or drilling needed. I have a couple of these left over and willing to sell them for 60.00 plus shipping. PM me if interested and I can send you some pics.

Had the ones kenchan did his DIY with but I cannot move the mounting point & drill because I have the password jdm pieces. Since I could not move it my hood started to bulge which then I required me to take off the hood dampers.

I will post some pics tomorrow when I get off work. These should work with the JDM pieces as well. They do not interfere with those pieces. Please pm me and I will make sure you get those pics as well.

Why PM secrecy...? Can't you just post them for everyone to see (who might be interested)?

ok guys here are the pics on my car. as you can see this kit consists of 2 hood dampners, 2 brackets and the associated bolts. No cutting or drilling is necessary. just unbolt 2 nuts from the hoods hinges and remove one of the plastic pop rivit from the front of the plastic covers. I currently have mine off due to them being fiberglassed but you get the idea. the hole is already there and all you have to do is put a nut on the bottom of the wheel well which may require jacking up the car to give you the room to put your hand in there but no cutting and no problem with clearances. I am asking 70$ shipped. the hood dampners cost 23 each and the brackets and bolts a few bucks more and approx 10 for the shipping tube and postage so as you can see I am just trying to get my money back and a few bucks for my trouble. I currently have 2 that I made for some local guys but they never paid me and I can make one extra from extra material I have on hand.. First come first serve.

I'm not to fond of the bracket for the hood support. Looks bulky.
