Gas strut for your hood. - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #44228 8 posts Started by My2Celi
Has anyone try that yet? My friend has his accord come like that stock and i thought it was a nice feature. Before i try i just want to know if anyone has tried it.

<--- I miss :'' (
i was thinking of adding some bonnet dampers. it beats having that prop rod being in the way all the time. maybe i'll get some of those TEIN ones i see on ebay.. hmm, it shouldn't be too hard to install.

a bunch of people on the subaru forms have it, nothing to hard just have to be carful if you have a fiberglass or cf hood, the shock can just crack it under pressue.

Review for the Endura-tech brand

one thing that gets me are the prices of a real kit, like $160 seriously I cant see spending that much for a set of trunk shocks you can get a napa for $30 (actualy wheight wise i bet celica hatchback shocks would do just fine for the hood.)

The Endura tech one looks nice but it looks kinda thick. I guess i'll have to take a look at the bay again.

i wanted to do that too smile.gif
if you do it let us know how it comes out
I had them as stock on my peugeot and it was great. I'd recommend it and would like to do it to my celi but have not found a cheap kit anywhere in the UK.
That guy over on the east coast selling his full GT-4 converted celi did it. I can't remember his name right now though. There's pictures of it in the B/S forum. It looks like he just welded some struts on.
If its the guy from connecticut then his name is Mike and his user name is Celiman05 i beleive
