Hood Dampers for 370z?

TipsZ

Does anyone know of any Hood Dampers that fit the 370z for the stock hood?

If you can figure out if the g37 ones fit, I know there are two out one polished and one in carbon man.

Do you know the make? If so, I can get with the local G club and see if we can figure it out.

I don't think they're recommended, could cause pressure points due to the aluminum being weaker than most hoods.

So .. only use hood dampers if we replace the hood with a carbon fiber hood? I know I've seen a ton of 350's with hood dampers, is the 370's hood that much heavier or have an inferior design?

I think what vipor meant is that it could misshapen the aluminum hoods on the 370z.

The 350Z has an aluminum hood too, supposedly around 23lbs. I'd love to know what rates they're using on the hood dampers. Shouldn't be too hard to do a plastic analysis and see if the aluminum will warp from their use.

Assuming the 370Z hood is about the same weight, though, it shouldn't be too big of an issue.

another good reason for dampers..... the hood doesn't seem to open high enough using the hood prop. maybe it's just cuz i'm tall iono.

No Rep for something none of us can use! No hardware, pistons only, and no one has determined that the G37 is the same (doubt it)...
