Hood dampers are probably my favorite "mod" so far. I love the fact that I don't have to use the ugly steel rod to hold my hood up anymore. I do think the car should have come from the factory with dampers though.
I have Gruppe-S carbon fiber dampers by the way, which are a universal fit for Evos 8, 9, and 10. They work great, but I do have to say the Rexpeed ones look to be a better fit since they are made specifically for the X.

Opening it is different. You have to be careful or the hood will "shoot up". I don't know if it's because the hood is so light, but you have to grab the hood until the dampers fully open or the hood will open very fast until the dampers stop it.
I'll have a definite answer on the lancer fitment later on tonight.

It's easier to close, you just drop it half way down and the dampers close it for you. When you first start to close the hood from the top, I've gone real slow to start compressing the dampers, once you get them going it's easy to close.
