Detailed the ish out of her and now shes sittin inside like a garage queen.

dmhenderson · 01-17-2013, 09:02 PM

I was about to buy those and someone said they have a tendency to bow the hood. Any truth to that?

I'm eyeballing those hood struts and a full set of those silicone hoses prior to show season.

xxAGAVExx · 01-17-2013, 10:00 PM

I heard that too, I asked a few people with the z1s and they said it didn't bow the hood. I guess we'll see.

They Do Bow The Hood On The Driver's Side.

dmhenderson · 01-17-2013, 10:02 PM

Are there any other options that don't? That's disappointing.

Replaced map lights, rear hatch light, and license plate lights with LEDs.

All I see are spots from looking into the lights.

Hood Struts: Bowed on both of the previous 350Z's....took em off and sold them...Yeh they were not Z1 product. I would suggest buying the hatch struts and back the car in and show off your boom box in the hatch as an alternate choice/fix. Most who have the hood struts install them and do not even detail their engine bay, so what's the point, still looks like chit.

Headlamps next? no rear back up leds, now those look great on mine. Check out my garage or search for thread for pics.

okay might as well contribute to this topic thread. Drove the bros Z to surgery today.

This happened yesterday, but, I was cleaning a spot of bird s*it of the Z when the 5 year old came over and asked what happened to my red car (Eclipse).
I said I traded it in on this car. 5 year old said "WOW! You traded the red car for THIS? WOW" He doesn't quite understand what a trade in is yet.

Did you tell him you got a good deal because you got a car with avian poo on it and opted out of the car that didn't have bird sh*t on it?

Rule 14 in life: always mess with people, especially those who don't know better
