You have me confused they use the same principle to hold the hood up. Let me know where you are tripping up step by step and I will see if I can help.

 

here you go. got them installed today. it was a breeze.

 

Ordered! :D Cant wait, since we need to check the enginebay regulary its a very nice feature

 

How good are these compared to NRG/TIENS? I'm guessing TIENS > These > NRG

Still no word on who makes these?

 

I have used all three of the above and no performance difference that I see of and I have had these carbon fiber ones for about 6-7 months so far. I was also in a minor front end collision thinking they would be screwed up but they held up just fine.

 

Shoot me a price delivered on these 97459, thanks

 

Thnks a bunch padilla08 ! I just finished installing them and they work like a charm, not too heavy on the CF hood either, Thnks Brice ! What I was doing wrong was that the dampers will about 5 - 7 mm still compressed and weren't fully out so I fixed the angle wiggled with the adapter a bit and now its awesome :D Do have to cut a bit of the plastic weather strip though but no biggie :D

 

Price to 06066 please

 

Sent you a pm

Let me know

 

That yellow writing on the strut, is that a removable sticker or is it printed right on the strut?

 

Easily removed, I did the same on mine.

 

Sent a reply to your PM and paypal money last Friday.

 

You should have it in the next day or so, it was already shipped out.

 

I installed them in the exactly same way, but my hood wont close properly. I tried to carefully close it, but I guess its just me thats retarded :S

Any tips?

 

no one? :S

I suspect I have a longer rubber thing that stops the damper from going all the way down, anyone?

 

^^ Correct, you need to cut the weather strip a bit

 

Best thing is to just pre-compress them a couple times before installing.

So, you can 1) uninstall them 2) put one end on the floor (carpet) and push down with all your weight until it compresses. Do this 5-10 times for each one. 3) re-install 4) closing should be much easier

 

hey guys just wanted to know if anyone could help I just got my tein hood dampers and got them installed on my R3 and everything seems flush except where the hinges r the hood sits up abit and wanted to know how I could get it flush any help would be great!

 

Unfortunately that would be common for those tein dampers.

 

so I assume that all tein hood dampers do this then? There's no way of actually trying to make it flush? Do the carbon fiber one sit flush? Or do all hood dampers do this?

 

Safe to say to some extent all hood dampers will do this. The hood on the RX8 is very light so it will come up a little.

I will leave my customers who have purchased the CF dampers to comment on what it has done to being flush with their hoods.

 

Oh ok thanks for the response! Hopefully someone on here could PM me on a way to get it flush that would be great!
