Basically take over his parts/project/design? That wouldn't be very nice of me, would it?

~Ramy

 

If he gave you the supplier information it would be assumed that you had his permission. . Besides, if he has no interest in continuing to make these why would he care?

- Neil

 

FYI, I discussed this possibility with Ramy, because we know Chuck's parts are the best. It's not a viable option since Chuck sources the parts from various suppliers and assembles them in house. And to paraphrase Ramy, Chuck didn't leave the door open for us taking over that aspect. Sorry guys.

On the other hand if the Teins can get the job done...

 

I believe that the Teins will cause a slight bulge in the CF hood just like all the other hood dampers out there (Chuck's excluded of course.). Please go ahead and refund my payment.

Thanks - Neil

 

I'll take a set of Teins, I'm under the hood so much I don't care what color it is, Im just tired of propping it all the time!!! -Thanks Ramy

 

I agree his Phantom, Im also tired of propping up the hood.

 

This is who I have thus far for the Tein hood dampers (feel free to edit as necessary):

Ramy, you haven't let me down yet... so if you think they are up to par on quality... I'll trust ya.

By the way, on a slightly different note, any word on those wheels? :P

 

please include me on the teins. thanks.
if the color really bugs me, i'll just paint them down the road.

 

Ramy, has found another high quality hood damper that he will be posting about soon. I am going to hold off on refunds til people get a look at these, or if you're not interested just let me know and your refund will be sent ASAP.

 

Fantastic, can't wait to see what he's found for us!

 

i bet you he is in he's backyard painting the Teins black

just kidding Ramy sorry i couldent resist

 

as long as it's jet black with a hint of pearl... i'm okay with that.

 

Make sure he checks into CF hood compatibility

 

From what he told me they offer options for CF hoods and stock

PS He hasn't posted yet, because he's getting pricing info.

 

Ramy,
I am not interested in the Hood Damper kit anymore;please send me a PM that you get this info.
BTW dont refund me the money yet;I might buy something else from you and use these money as down payment.
Giampiero

 

I'm still in. I trust that wherever we end up on this you won't sell us inferior products. I am interested in the new alternative you have found as well. . .
--Jeff

 

Anders, oh man...you REALLY had me laughin hard on that one hahaha. Nice one

Wow..talk about being demanding!!

Dude, c'mon now. Would you expect any less of me? They offer two dampers, one for the OEM hood, and one for lighter aftermarket hoods

I got it And sorry, I don't PM for business related matters anymore. BTW, I emailed you a few days ago about the parts you were looking for

Jeff, thanks for the confidence man. In fact, you have no idea how accurate you are. I'm actually not going to run a GB on the Tein's no matter what. I did some researching WRT the concerns ppl raised in this thread about the Tein dampers, and I found out (to be politically correct) that the Tein dampers are not reflective of the quality the Tein name is normally associated with In fact, I had a nice long convo with a very good friend of mine who was actually sponsored by Tein and had these dampers, and essentially gave me the run down and told me they were junk haha. And like you said, the LAST thing I'd do is sell junk to make a buck. I stand behind EVERYTHING I sell, or I simply won't sell it.

Having said that, I think you guys will be very happy w/ the dampers I'm going to be going with (as I wipe off the black overspray from the green Teins LOL ). But seriously, it's a high quality product. I'll post once I confirm that I can actually get a GB rate on 'em (I'm waiting to hear back from 'em).

Thanks!
~Ramy

 

I should have know better than to doubt you.

 

Oh and sorry for being vague, but I don't like to stay stuff until it's actually gonna happen. Talk is cheap, ya know?

 

well damn, i just got my refund too, can't wait to see what these new ones are

 

What do you expect? You spoiled us with high quality service and product, you can only expect us to get used to it and expect very high standards from the product you offer us.

By the way keep up the great work! You da man!

 

Thanks

 

Hey guys, any updates?

 

Ok guys, here's my suggestion: NRG Hood Dampers. Price: $140 Shipped.

Note: While there are online sites that claim to sell these dampers for cheaper, they also claim that these are made for OEM hoods only, and don't carry all the options the NRG ones do. So I want to make sure everyone's aware that these are GENUINE NRG hood dampers (known for their high quality), purchased DIRECTLY through NRG, available for both OEM and lighter aftermarket hoods, in silver or CF finishes. Please see below for further details.

Thanks!
