When I get hood dampers, I swear I'll get 'em from you. I just needed the clutch brace more. :/

Hey, quick question, Brice ... I just received my parts today ( CF hood dampers, CF Oil catch can, oil filter relocation kit) I noticed u said u installed the hood dampers on a CF hood, no problems? The note warns not to use on CF hoods, and I forgot to ask you for advice. BTW, also did you get this order from the company that had you ship it out to Miramar, FL ?

I use caution when opening and closing the hood and I have no issues. Yes that company did place the order that was located in Miramar.

The dampers exert to much force/pressure on the carbon fiber hood which is prone to cracking if care is not taken.

As you can see I have them on my CF hood, and haven't damaged it yet. Had it for about 2 years now

That pic is of the TEIN model if im not mistaken. The ones I got from you, don't have that same angle to keep the hood up. The angle is more narrow. Lol ... seriously .. anyone else at all with the CF hood dampers installed ? I must be missing something ...
