I've been thinking about this... how difficult is it to install hydraulic hood lifts like for the Acuras? Where would I even find these? lol

the group buy never took place because we didnt have enough people to get the discount, add your name and we are one person closer.

The group buy never happened because there weren't enough people. The group buy thread is here:
GROUP BUY: Redline Tuning Hood QuickLIFT
If you're interested in this, please post and add your name to the list. I'd like to have the group buy within a few weeks.

Just be careful guys...if anybody is on the list that has a CF hood, it won't work very well....the struts will cause the hood to bend and when you open the hood have fun not getting smacked in the chin. As for standard weight hoods, NP there, go for it!

Good point man. I guess it's a good thing that I don't have any CF yet.

I did it on my car. btw, its all the v6 hondas/acuras that get the hood struts. for example a 5th gen accord v6 has hood struts whereas a brand new tsx 4 cylinder has the prop stick.

Its all good Mike. It does bring this back to life for anyone that hasn't seen it. Paperboy did his conversion with OEM parts though. I remember seeing his threads on DA and v6p.

Lets see a little DIY action then I'm sure some folks might want to do this with OEM parts.

My car has them stock. I had to replace them a few thousand miles ago and I bought them from Majestic Honda. Thing is, I don't know if you can buy everything you need to install them on a prop-hood car.
FYI:
hood shocks (click here)
You'll need items 14, 16, 31, and 51.

The problem with that is that cars that come with a hood prop rod do not have the L brackets that the bottom of the hood shocks mount to. You either have to weld or bolt in some brackets like paperboy did, or you can just get the redline ones that come with brackets that you use pop rivets to hold in place.
