Hood Dampers? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #50753 6 posts Started by chacha
Exactly what the title says...anyone here knows of any universal hood dampers or any product close to this? i have seen it for other model vehicle but none for our cars...lucky if any for the 7th gen celicas....my "hood holder" as i call it broke and i need something or would like something similar to this....i know i saw it on one of the GT4 conversions sold here, but i didn't ask...anyone guide me?
I believe QuintenGT has then on his car. Hood dampers are the things that help hold up the hood right?

[the hood dampers are] from a 97 park avenue rolleyes.gif prolly doesnt help you guys. i got them in a junk yard. if you really want to do this, expect to spend the majority of a saturday, fabricating brackets and making sure it closes right. I spent well over 8 hours on those things kindasad.gif it was worth it though.

TIEN makes universal ones i think, but the measuring and geometry of it will probably be a b*tch.
i think so too, man...what great cars we have, but what unfortunate events that causes are car to go down so low in fabrication (aftermarket parts) and performance parts...if only TTE didn't get disqualified from WRC, wonder what celica be like...running along with the new EVO(s) and STI(s)...if anyone find anything about it...it would be nice for an update and upgrade to all...thanks
