sorry for the dirty engine bay! you can see where I cut the side of the plastic off to make room for the springs. I cut off more than needed just to simplify the cutting, and you also have the option of using a heat gun to melt small parts of the plastic and make an imprint of the spring body. I also didn't clean up my cutting, so it might look a little jagged.

Trust me, I was trying my best to not have to modify any part of the vehicle, but colse your hood and peek underneath and see just how much clearance there....there's hardly any!

As far as pricing, I'm still working that out, but expect a GB price between about $70-90 shipped depending on how many people sign up.

Thanks,

Anthony

i'm sure you would be down for that price! the price will of course be dependant upon how many people sign up. i havent determined the price breaks yet. Still have a few kinks to work out and photos to take etc, etc.

i'm trying to get a bit of feedback and then i'll start a GB later on this week most likely. Stay tuned!

Im in for 70 also BTW do you have does in polish or chrome. Start it already the look great.

I was looking into the tein but that sucked that you had to make modifications to the engine bay. Yours looks good and maybe with more time the cutting could be minimal with some calculation. Start the GB already.

GB list for 70 shipped (to get an idea how many people r intrested)
1) ALBERTO
2) USN HM 350Z
3) Wired 24/7
4) Amiricanmade
5) B-Unit
6) New2350
7) fairlady_z33

Any chance these could work with fiberglass or carbon fiber hoods? I noticed that TopSecret has a set that will work with aftermarket hoods but did not see an application for the Z.

Looks good.
