I would like to request the write up of a how to get rid of the hood prop rod and install hood struts. I have searched the forum and did not find a thread about this topic.

 

Not sure if this helps, but I found THIS on eBay

 

check accolades site.... looks the same though

Was looking for something that I could just run right down to the Autoparts store and pick up (Me hates waiting on shipping). Actually the brackets they have in that photo I have laying around all I need is to know what length struts to buy. Answers anyone?

I'm waiting for Tein to come out with HOOD DAMPERs for our lancers.

Depends on how high you want the hood to sit. Just do some simple measuring.

As for removing the prop rod, you know that just pulls right out, right? Just work around the curve and it'll come right out.

 

Any word on Tein making a hood damper kit for the evo?

 

Last I heard they were in development.

 

Hope it doesn't take long. Honestly how long does it really take to "develop" a hood damper kit? However long it takes, it needs to be soon. I know I am one that is sick of that kick stand of a hood prop. As much as we pay for the damn car, it should come with hood dampers. Come on Tein hurry up!!

 

Well I am going to write up a howto after I do mine this weekend and if you want I'll stick an TEIN sticker on it to get them to finish theirs faster LOL
