now down to business I have about 8 left if all of those that said they were interested comes through. Parts left the supplier and should be arriving soon. I will keep you posted and will send shipping info once I ship them via paypal.
bro, im not trying to start anything with you, so now "owned" here. i was simply stating that the original post makes it out to seem that the z1 hood struts are a problem. i am not defending z1 whatsoever, just wanted to call it out.

Like I said, they were/have been an issue for several people on these forums but not all. Quit trying to make it sound like there was some sort of agenda here.

alright parts will be here monday, I will be shipping those that have ordered already on tuesday. I also have something special that I am including with them. I found a way to hold the hood at a lower level for those that want their hood lower for shows and stuff. it is not attached so you will have to keep it in your car but you just have to place it on the shaft to get that lower look if wanted. it will come unpainted so you can paint it black to match the strut or go with color if wanted, just a thank you for placing an order.

I currently have 8 left if someone wants to jump in before shipping on tuesday 12 Feb.

I installed this kit in 15min. I love it.. Easy to put in, and functional with no hood bulge. Very well thought out..

The install video is a little strange but its right on...

To be clear: My goal here wasn't to start a pissing contest. I had a Z1 kit ready to purchase until Pintsize said she had issues with it warping her hood on the drivers side and had to uninstall them so I started looking for alternatives. At a MAZOC meet, one of the cars that showed up (I think it might have been xXXChrisXXx) had Kelly's hood damper kit and I really liked what I saw.

I tracked down Kelly on the forums and begged him to build me a set and he asked me to help drum up interest so that he can at least break even on the kits by selling more than just mine. Like literally bugged him until he agreed to make me a set. I think it took 3-4 PMs.

Basically, the guy was doing me a favor. If you have the Z1 kit and are happy with it, great. Several people *have* complained about it kit and Kelly's kit is just another way to go. I'm making no money off of this and Kelly is making very little (if any) so please stop acting like this is some sort of scam.
First off, no one is "acting like this is some sort of scam." I've read all the threads and acknowledge that some folks are having problems with the struts - Z1's and others. I think it is an issue with manufacturing tolerances involving the hood and fenders. None of my friends here have complained about fitment issues. That doesn't mean they don't exist.

The only reason I posted was to point out that NOT everyone is having problems with Z1 struts.

I think Kelly is a great guy. He saw a need, engineered a solution, and shared it. Whether he makes a nickel a set or $100 is none of my business or concern. I hope he is making something to compensate for the the time he has put in.

It's good to see that he is willing to take more time out to help fellow Z owners.
