There's lots of threads on the issue. Mine are perfect no bulge. I got mine from user kellyefields he had a couple GBs a while back not sure if they are still available though.

LMBmikeZ 07-09-2013 10:45 AM

Are the cf struts wrapped in cf or in vinyl? If vinyl just buy the normal ones and do it yourself :ugh2:

the ones ive seen are like real CF overlay over the metal housing. i dont think the vinyl can withstand engine heat all that well. at least not DiNoc. already tried and failed 4yrs ago. :icon17:

speaking of yelling, well not yelling, but i did file a claim to amazon for late shipments due to usps f-up. :shakes head: i was suppose to get my 3" polish pads last night, never came in so couldn't work on the spot polishing.

not sure if im going to have any time to do it now this week before the weekend. :mad: sucksarse.

they say 2 Day GUARANTEED shipment on Prime...and they use USPS. :facepalm: like saying guaranteed smile on your face and you get a kia or something. :ugh2:

Meetinghubby at the ballpark, he will park the F-150 someplace so that I can park right next to it, hopefully on an end with NOBODY else on the other side to ding my doors OR vandalize it. :eek: hubby takes good care of Harry too!

yah, amazon keeps claiming it is 'estimated arrival' but on the emails they send me when they ship, it says "Guaranteed Arrival." well, they gave me like a $5 store credit so i guess i will let it go, as long as the pads get here. :mad:

i tracked it last night, and does not show up any progress on USPS site. :ugh:

I called them up and asked them about it, it's real carbon fiber material that comes in a pre-made sleeve, they slide it over the hood strut and glue it in place. He said they've never had a problem with one coming off, or with the hood bulge issues other people have mentioned, so I ordered a set. Should be here Thursday.

that kind of stuff drives me nuts, sorry to hear about it Kenchan!

Oh, as a side note, I bought a Meguiare's DA buffer last night with some pads and some new wax. My Z's gonna be shiny, and I've got a few other detailing jobs lined up that should pay for the buffer :excited: I love mods that pay for themselves... Now if only my Amuse kit and wheels would do that :(

kenchan 07-09-2013 11:45 AM

and it appears the hoods are made differently at the hinge area on some production lots even though from the same year.
i pop the hood every weekend so having hood dampers would be very convenient...


well I have the z1 motorsports ones and mine do buldge a bit :ugh2: it seems like some peoples hoods buldge more than others.

I had to cut a little bit of plastic to get my Z1 set to fit the driver side, and it dents the foam by the clutch/brake reservoirs pretty good. But there are no bulges or gaps, so I am happy :tup:

Huck 07-09-2013 12:46 PM

Well I ordered mine and they're in Tampa, so I should get them tomorrow or the next day. I'll stick em on and see how they fit :tup:

I just checked and my digital blasphemy account is still active :tup:

Check out their website and let me know if there is one that you like - I found triple screen resolutions of 5040x1050 (not quite wide enough) as well as 7680x1600 (you can crop to fit).

unless you can do better, you can't talk shit at all..

as a dj, she isn't the best no, but she has some skills.
she does a lot in europe, and is highly rated over there.. so.. since they have better taste in music then 90% of the us.. I say they got it right
