Default Interest check - ~Kellyefields~ custom hood damper kit

****THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE THREAD****
Just gauging interest.

So forum user ~kellyefields~ used to make a really nifty hood damper kit that won't bow your hood like the Z1/EVO-R kits are rumored to do. Saw one of hits kits on a MAZOC Z the other weekend and really liked it.

He is going to come out of retirement to build me a kit but asked that I see if I can drum up a little more interest so that he's not just buying parts for me.

Original thread here:

Hood Dampners/ hold up thingies

So far:
7 definite orders
2 "maybe"
(between both this thread and the mid-atlantic discussion thread)

Kelly says pricing will be $90 per kit (pretty awesome by itself) if we get 5 people, $80 per kit if we get 10 and so on.

Im already in on this as well he needs a handfull of people to jump on this or it is not worth his time. There is pretty much no profit in this kit taking labor into account.

Well it's about 1/3 the cost and it doesn't bow your hood on the driver's side like the Z1 kit does.

Just one question, do these open half way and full, or just full? I've seen some struts claim to do both

Haha I'm thinking that's not the case. I don't know when the price bottoms out. I'll ask him to post in this thread.

I know, I'm just messing

I did read the FAQ on that original kelly's thread and the bowing out might be due to installer error. But I double checked everything I did with my Z1 as well as have someone else remove and install it a second time, and the same thing happened...soooo if these actually do start to sell and no bulge in the hood, I might be interested as well.

I'd definitely be in if these can open both halfway and full. Price would really matter if its just full though.
