Hood Struts for Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood?
I am going crazy trying to find hood struts that will work with my Seibon TS hood for my RX7 FD. Ones I get are either slightly too weak to hold it up, or WAY too strong and cause the hood to flex badly when closing.
Here is my hood

If anyone can point me to proper hood struts for this hood, I would apprecaite it!

A lot of logic in keeping the rod…and this from someone who went with struts years back (on a stock hood) with not a little buyers regret.
If it’s flash you’re looking for Garage Alpha offers a titanium version.

The JP3 product is a great solution, however I was unable to use them due to my aftermarket fenders. Great customer support.

I have a question. My RX-7 now has a V-mount with the intercooler on the upper part of the V (near the hood) and the bottom of the V is the radiator. So the radiator is horizontal and at the bottom of the car and air goes through the radiator and then underneath the car.
My car was damaged in a hailstorm and I've thought of replacing the hood with a Seibon hood. This would allow air from the intercooler to flow out of the engine compartment nicely. But wouldn't their be less pressure across the radiator if air can exit easily through the hood?
Thanks!
