Ramy,

My concern is that the Tein's might be too stiff for aftermarket hoods. I know Chuck's would have worked since I have one of his hoods..

Neil, you're worrying about nothing. Chuck was only going to be selling one type of hood damper had this GB come through. The weight difference b/w the OEM and aftermarket hoods is absolutely negligible.

Oh and btw, under no circumstances would the damper be too STIFF. That implies that aftermarket hoods are heavier than the OEM hood. You're prob thinking that it might be too STRONG (which it isn't)

I think what he is asking is if their stronger, so if you have a CF hood can you close the hood and not crack it.

Correct! Especially since a Rotary Extreme CF N1 is pretty much irreplaceable...

Ramy,

I am a little wary of the Tein's and aftermarket hoods. I had the Godspeed's (Tein's knockoffs) and they would NOT work with my CF hood. I just couldn't get it closed all the way (slight hump).

If Tein can guarantee fitment for aftermarket hoods, then I am still in. Otherwise, I would like a refund.

Unfortunately, I'm leaning toward the same as the previous two... though I'm going to do some more research before deciding.
On a slightly different note, those brackets look rather flimsy in comparison.... What do we really know about this kit?

You guys should have your refunds now.

rx7sp, you have a pm regarding your refund.

rx7twin, I've made a note so we'll only order 1 set for you and you can use the rest of the funds for something else.

Since the GB fell thriugh can you check the price of genuine re headlight covers for me? If I cant find a set of re dampers I may get the teins. Hopefully someone will respond to my wtb. I'm willing to pay more than $150 if someone is willing to sell theirs.

Mdessouki, email me plz re: the price of the headlight covers (and plz specify whether or not you want the regular covers or the covers w/ the intake, and how many of each).

Thanks,

Ramy,

If Chuck doesn't have the time why don't you just gather all the information for the suppliers and put the damper kits together yourself?
