wait, whats the issue with a CF hood? is the strut for a certain weight? because that'd work with my VIS CF hood... unless the strut would throw it up fast or something

Wow its that strong to do that.protejay5 said:
Any ideas if you did have a cf hood and want something like that?
My stock hood looks like it'll need to be replaced in 6 months for a CF hood and I would like an option for that kind of prop kit.

I can't believe home depot has so many of the things we can use for our cars. I know I'm making some grill inserts for my project bumper right now out of door screens :-D, and I'm going to ghetto a funnel system to "when ever I can manage to save for a" Injen CAI. Everytime I go in there, I always think of the possibilities of building stuff for the car.
But yeah, I'm sure using a lower compression strut would work just right. But hey if the hood flies off, just say you needed to take off some extra weight for the quarter mile. And say that there's no rule in the rule book, that you can just start taking weight off the car as your racing down the track.

how'd you paint the bracket? it looks like it matched perfect..looks good
I have to wait for more brackets to be made, i sold every last one, so i dont even have any on my car at the moment, so i cant test if the "CF struts" will be good.
I dont suspect there to be any bracket changes between the kits, just a weaker strut, esentially thats all.

Yeah, it is a perfect match. I used the same paint on my upper grille. I got the paint from Levine Auto... they color match the paint and put it in a spray can for you:

I couldn't wait long enough to put a clear on it 
So, ya, it's just the basecoat - didn't even wax it. I figured it was not going to see much of the elements since it's under the hood...
