Carbon Fiber Hood?

Postby solrchrgd » Sun Jun 13, 2004 11:26 am

Are you planning to mount them to a CF hood? I believe the hood is too light to use the hydraulic lifts.

nah with factory.

just need to look at mounting points or get some good pics to figure where to drill holes.

as for them being too strong for the carbon fiber hood, thats why we have hood pins ;)

The reason why you can't use factory hood struts is bcuz theres too much pressure on the hood when theh ood is closed, or so they say.

The pins help holding the hood down, but it doesnt help with relieving the pressure placed on the frame of the c/f hood. Its fiberglass isnt it?
