oh god, yeah I was soo tired of using the hood prop. I even ripped that out of there if you noticed in the pics
some people from out of town have said the same thing about our inspection stickers, but then you realize every single car in the state has them so you just don't notice it next to everyone else on the road
but it's serious business to take that off, huge fine..so gotta deal.

Pretty Freakn' Sweet! Is that a universal kit? Vehicle Specific? Pilot holes with sheet metal screws? Self tappers? Your engine bay is clean enough to eat off of.

the dampers are oem V6 6GA ones
for the bottoms, I used two 2" L corner braces with self tapping screws with hex heads and the hood mounted ones were two 2" mending plates with those same self tapping screws. The hole meant for the ball socket part of the dampers on the L braces needed to be widened with a drill bit to fit the thread through it, and the same thing with the big hole in the sides of the hood. It needed to be widened quite a bit on both sides to fit an entire nut (M8 x 1.25) through it, but once that's done you just flatten the plate (with a hole drilled through the middle of it) over the bigger hole, drill two little holes for the two self tappers on those, and then screw it all in.
the dampers were just put on using a flat head screwdriver to move the cup shaped part forward to fit the ball socket parts into them when you line them up correctly on both sides of the car.
