RotorMotor 10-02-2008 02:23 PM

Very nice! Will keep my eyes peeled for the ad!

philsbluerx8 10-02-2008 02:30 PM

looks cool!

NgoRX8 10-02-2008 02:33 PM

very nice. they look like they stablize the hinge section nicely. would probably work for my jacked up hood from the nrg's...

Jedi54 10-02-2008 02:34 PM

Ngo: they'd look even better on a Varis hood!!
**hint hint, wink wink**

Thanks for all the positive comments about the hood dampers. These will not only be seen in an advertisement in Rotary Speed, but there is also a tech article on them as well I believe.

TopGear8 10-02-2008 04:45 PM

too bad they are so damn expensive or i would get them :( they look good!

lxlxlxl_saki_lxlxlxl 10-02-2008 05:55 PM

This isn't your ebay stuff. You will get what you pay for in quality and durability let alone the satisfaction of knowing you have the best quality and guarantee in the product warranty. For the price, in the end, its not as expensive as it appears. Buy them once and forget about it, no other worries.

kersh4w 10-03-2008 12:23 PM

they look good, i agree.

$200 is like gaaahhh.

definitely on the list of things to get if/when i have a momentary pause in getting go-faster parts.

NgoRX8 10-03-2008 12:34 PM

the price is higher than what we normally have here readily available in the US, aka tein, but at least these aren't all green. haha. cheaper than more jdm specific parts like autoexe though.

kersh4w 10-03-2008 01:11 PM

yeah, im not too fond of the tein green for hood dampers.

Deathcraft 10-03-2008 03:09 PM

Damn..they look awesome! I like the color...tein green ones look lame unless ofcourse you have a green car...:P ..haha

A bit too expensive for me thou..:(

TopGear8 10-03-2008 03:38 PM

i didnt say anything about bad quality, we realize its good quality, which is why we want them. Just too expensive for some atm

Topgear8- if my response came across as aggressive it wasn't meant to. I just wanted to point and weigh out the benefits per cost. Cheers!

TopGear8 10-03-2008 04:43 PM

cool, you should offer these as a group buy if you are a vendor. at like 150/pair for rx8club if you get 10 buyers. im down.

Socket7 10-03-2008 05:31 PM

200 bucks is too much to pay for something with that large of a company brand on it.

I'd like the most noticeable thing about my carbon fiber hood dampers to be the carbon fiber, not the company logo on them thanks.

If you're the type to slap manufacturer stickers all over everything on your car I guess they look nice.

For the purpose of the pictures and the posting the "Endura-Tech" decals are on the carbon fiber hood dampers. But in reality, when they are received by the buyer, there are no decals on the kit itself, but does come with decals if one was inclined to put them on.

05rex8 10-06-2008 06:37 PM

oh man I need these!

There should be no problem with these on a CF hood.
