Interest check - ~Kellyefields~ custom hood damper kit

BeemaaZ · 03-09-2013, 12:41 PM

Mine fit perfectly without any extra washers. You just need to drive the car to warm up the engine bay and let them settled in.

Yeah mine have carved out little grooves in that foam cushion. Absolutely no issues. Had two of these kits at the MAZOC meet today and no problems with either.

Installed mine today with my m370. Sadly I have to report hood bulge..BUT its not all bad news. I went for a 1 long drive after I finished the manifold, and 75% of the bulge is now gone! It is still cold here so I covered the car back up, t, I think over a short period of time after it warms up around here it will be all gone. Really happy with the kit, even now it is so small, no one will notice it.

How are these compared to the hood damper kit sold on thezstore website? I just ordered a set but was told it's back ordered 3-4 weeks.

kellyefields · 05-13-2013, 08:53 PM

not sure about the zstore ones.

TheGreatOne · 05-14-2013, 11:46 AM

any left by chance?

kellyefields · 05-14-2013, 12:07 PM

not at the moment i would have to have at least ten committed buyers to make it happen

tonythetiger · 08-06-2013, 04:25 PM

any reviews on b2design??

Okay, where do you get the "Kellyfields Hood Damper Kits". The carbon fiber set I purchased from theZstore are working out to well...

Joepro · 09-09-2013, 07:52 PM

Just an FYI still loving mine... it's a wonder this car came with a hood prop... the extra height is great too!

Okay, where do you purchase the "Kellyfields Hood Damper Kit"?? The kit I just received from "theZstore" doesn't fit well and am looking for alternatives.

Kelly Fields is a forum poster (he has posted in this thread, in fact). I believe that Mykindaguise got the last kit he had available and he had no plans to make more but if you could drum up a bunch of interest and get a bunch of other buyers I dunno.

Try PM'ing him.

I'll also take one kit as well. Just need it to fit a 13 NISMO. Let me know how and who to pay.. I'll be returning the kit from "theZstore" I just bought for the above reasons (aren't secure and bow the hood). Thanks for doing the leg work!!

dmhenderson · 09-15-2013, 03:42 PM

You guys need to organize and get a list of buyers together. Kelly had already said he won't do it unless 10 more people commit.
