Just had these hood damper made for FC. Direct bolt onto factory metal hood brackets. These are not cheap ones which need to bolt on the hood. With this design you can use it for FRP or carbon hood too! Anyone wants to set up a GB for me? Price will be below $80 a set. Here are some video and photo on my FC vert.

 

wow i really like that idea and the price isnt bad either

 

Looks nice.

Tried it on a steel hood yet?

 

That's SOOO funny!! sunshine was planning on heading up to my house saturday and we were going to do something very similar and if there was enough interest, offer a kit ourselves. What can we say - RotorFest inspired us. The big difference in that we're going to use the 5.25" shocks of slightly higher quality (RE: Stainless Steel... mmmmm stainles.....) and run them more parrellel with the hood - less interference and less chance of leaning on them and bending/braking them. Those are an invite to get FUBAR'ed. Also - if I told you what I can buy them at for wholesale there might be a lynch mob.

Not to mention - "set me up with a GB and I'll do it", sounds a WEEEE scammish. I'm a n00b to GB's and even I know who to PM

He's done GB's before. I think what he meant to say is "If you guys want me to setup a GB I'll do it."

I'd be down for one for a FRP hood. The FRP\CF hood version will have a lower pressure set of struts correct?

 

Making them for the FD at alll?

 

Yes, we had to change to more pressured struts

 

Yes, FRP and CF hood will use lower pressured.

 

Here you go!

Tein & NRG make them for the FD as well. Tein only come in Green, and NRG customer service sucks ***!

 

whats the tun around time... ive been in the market for this for a while.... just been waiting... how long?? how long??

 

1 week.

 

great looking setup, i'd definitely be interested /subscribe

 

Fd3S777, put me down for those sweet dampers if the GB goes through. I will have money in hand waiting. Thanks- Nick

 

I'll ask Jason. GB thread will be for both FD and FC.

 

what do you mean by more parallel? and interference from what leaning on what?

 

When I work on my car I lean over the fender and these will interfere with that. If I were to lean on them, or slip, it would be a bad day. The ones we are going to mount will basically be 90* to these and run more parrellel with the hood - more vertical so they are less intrusive. Lets face it, us FC owners are under the hood more for work than show

The other thing that I don't like is the single bolt holding the bracket on the hood. If that slips or rotates, it could easily bend or brake the hood. I would rather see a sheet of 16 or 14 gauge that stretches and uses both hood mounting bolts so it can't rotate

Very nice fd3s777.I will probably be in on this GB.

 

I might be interested in one as a finishing touch on my ar, but that wont be until early next year more than likely lol.

 

TitaniumTT I see what you mean by not exactly the best quality but being that the price hes said being below 80 bones its well worth it to me.

 

can i order one now? this is so cool i dont wanna wait for the GB. pm me if this is available.

 

me too. I need one right this moment. PM me with zee details

 

I'm in as well.

 

is the group buy started yet? im interested also

 

I would be down as well.
