Hood lifts?

[Neight]

Has anyone here used aftermarket hood lifts for their 4cyl accords?

Would the V6 hood lifts work/fit?

i've been searching for a set myself. i think the v6 hood lifts would fit since it's the same chassis.

I know that v6 sedan hoods are the same as 4cyl sedan hoods, they have the same holes, one on each side for the v6 hood props and then there is a hole for the 4cyl prop near the middle, the only thing the 4cyl needs are the two places to the the props, looks like a welded pice of metal on each side.

uuuu someone should try this!!! i been looking for some hood lifts also

i've seen it b4... it should work...

also, if u have a cf hood, i'd suggest getting a hood lift with less "power"? dunno how to explain it, but just get something with less power cos it'll crack the cf...

ebay has a set of hoodlifts
the pneumatic pressure from the lifts are designed to uplift the weight of a stock metal hood, when you add a CF hood, that weight is significantly reduced and the lifts are producing the same pressure for a fraction of the weight. it's like using your whole body to push a cardboard cutout.

passwordjdm has adjustable hood lifts, but none for our cars

so what could you do to less,n the strength? the ones in Hummers (military) all you do is cut a few of them. is that possible?

the pneumatic lifts for the 6 wont work on the 4's hoods because there is welding involved, at least if i understand correctly. i you wanna weld, then i dont see why they wouldnt work...
