I bought some years ago and am not sure what I did with them lol but most of the kits cause the hood to bulge and I am not okay with that.

Thanks for the info! No issues with the hood bulging? I will definitely have to do this.

Nope, no issues
You might also get away with a slightly weaker gas strut of 250 N coz my 350 N are on the powerful side

Car is looking really good!! I love that strut bar and the engine cover. You bought the strut bar off Wiggins I assume? He has some killer parts up for sale.

Thanks! Yea the strut bar and splitter came from wiggins. Also picked up the top secret floor mats he was selling.

I got hood struts from Z1 and no bulging, no problems.

Good to know. Seemed like every single kit was causing this for a while.

Anyone going to this tomorrow?

I hadn't heard that. My only small beef with the Z1 struts is the hood doesn't open quite as much as I'd like it to. Not that it's bad, just less than stock and I seem to constantly have my head under there. If any if the others are different in that regard I couldn't say.

SOOOOO blake is the fellow who bought the strut bar! Looking great my dude!

wish we had some more clean rides on the east coast. Seems like all the speed heads are out west. I feel so alone sometimes!

Thanks bro! Been wanting one for so long couldn't pass it up. You ever gonna stop working on your car and enjoy it? Lol

It looks absolutely fantastic on your PW car man!

Some day I hope. Unfortunately not until I'm certain I can sink the hook so far into the 9s that I never have to worry about turning another bolt again for a while.
