HELP!! NRG Hood Prop/Damper Kit Install

[rally2003]

I want a set, but after hearing all the issues with them I don't know.

^ Mine were used and went on without a hitch. They function beautifully as well.

I have the same issue, I installed my dampers no problem, when i went to test fit and how well the works, i found that they couldnt hold the weight of my hood, which is oem, the dampers say they ONLY hold oem hoods. I have no idea what the issue is....WTF!

HAHA I could probably trade you. Mine are for a stock hood, no doubt. I installed a set on my husband's RX8 and they fit fine, hold the hood fine, and are easy and smooth to close the hood. The ones on my CF hood on the other hand, you have to pull it down to close it, and if your fingers slip while pulling down on it (which hasn't happened lol) the hood would go flying up.

I am ordering a set soon i think!

BOO NRG!! I went though 3 sets of them, go with Prosport ones! they work! Lol

Wow, 3 sets!? I've had the ones for the stock hood for a few years now with no problems.

3 Sets, I test fitted for them years ago and I pop my hood everywhere and it's still good. Love showing off that big turbo.

someone correct me if I'm wrong, the bolts holding the fender to the inner fender are M6 are they not?

Idk, but I went through 3 sets, and they went blown, I had a carbon hood and they would not hold it up... I posted videos on here before... But ya, it annoyed me so I gave up with ngr and got some prosport ones, they look actually better IMO also. But to each their own, ngr is china stuff, mist of had a bad batch I guess... Thts why my job never buys anything from china, cause their inspection sucks.

I have not had good experiences with the NRG kit. I'm currently on my second set and am looking to buy a different brand. My first set ended up rusting and stopped working and my second set I have to have angle my hood brackets to allow the hood to close. And almost every time I take them on and off the ball sockets and locking pins end up getting bent out of shape so I can't use them. I got a bag full of extas so I can replace them when this happens but it shouldn't happen to begin with.

NRG sent me 1/2 psi for my OEM hood.

But I need a 1 psi damper, my OEM hood fall down each time I open up.

I need to cut the extention at 4 inches to fit perfectly...
