Nope! Perfect fitment w/ no bulges. This is the ONLY time I will say that bulges are bad (except when we are talking about "women")!

It's very hard to get one these days, I look up autotrader and ebay last week and I found none...

Last year I saw a good condition listed on the trader, asking price about CAD$18,000.

Coudn't find another one since then.....

To be honest, I don't know why Japanese car doesn't use hood-struts...

If such a good quality one only cost $90, the cost for Nissan to put those in as OEM will be even cheaper....

European have them almost 20 years ago.... and Japanese.....

for me, i need to drive a frs/brz to have credible insults to post. so far, only real world vs my honda fitto.

it's the dampers that hold up the hood open so you dont need to use the prop to keep hood from closing or chopping heads off..
