Hi Jason-

yea! if you have that or a threaded rivet or this jack nut, that would be great!

Update:

With the help of Tony (tonester1101), these struts are almost ready to go. I'll be starting a new thread and posting group-buy pricing once I get the last few things buttoned up.

How strong is the valving? Are they geared more towards cf hatches w/ the stock glass, or superlight ones like mine with a lexan window?

any one with a cf hatch running a sound system as well?? Does the extreme light weight of the hatch make the bass rattle the rear of the car to hell? I hate rattles, but my car wants to go to jenny craig!!

Awesome Tone! Now maybe that unsightly bump will finally heal up!

Is that hatch dry CF or is it fiberglass with CF applied on it to give it that look?
