Hood Dampers for 370z?

If the struts don't lift high enough I can see your complaint, but as long as they lift about as far as the hood prob I'm voting for the struts.

Agreed. Also, you tend to get more points for shows versus the standard prop bar.

Actually... I'm pretty sure using your favorite brand of quick detailer brings more points than both the prop AND the dampers. Or wait, was it a NOS bottle?

I don't see why I have them on my car and they work great,it is all a matter of what kit you get and how and where it gets installed at on the car if it is going to work properly.

Since I got my Nismo 370Z. I have already ask our hood damper factory to work on these. They already have done all the measurements and custom brackets to them. No cut or drill need it. All need to make is a small pin hole on the rubber piece on the side of the fender. Also already made stronger rear hatch dampers for people who have wings like AMUSE. People can also change your rear dampers to carbon version.
