[QUOTE=Kuhan;9171191]I finally had time to install the EVO-R hood dampers. The install was simple and took me about 20 minutes or so.
I really like these since no trimming was required, and they have 2-stage opening, which is pretty cool.
Here are some pictures.
No trimming needed
stage 1 (for car show etc.)
Awesome thanks for this. I never liked the fact that I had to trim with NRG. My brake and brake fluid covers are painted so I didn't want to mess that up.

Go with the EVO-R units
I just installed the EVO-R dampers on my 2006 350Z and installation was painless. No cutting or grinding. Top marks for ease of install.

Kuhan and other guys that have the EVO-Rs, quick question.
Should I be able to compress the damper by hand? I am about to install mine but I can't get them to budge an inch. I got them for xmas like 2 years ago and never had time to install. I figured I have a few min today so I was going to attempt it. I don't want to put it on my car and it ends up not compressing and letting my hood down and then I have to uninstall. Thanks in advance.

Well. I forgot to make time to install them. Anyway, just did em. Not bad. Quite a bit of resistance closing it at first. But I finally got it to close right before they popped off the hinges. I opened and closed a few more times and it's a little better. I will let it break in.

are there any struts that mount to the fenders closer to the hinges then farther out on the hood. I dont really like the mounting at the hinges, the hood is not designed for this and flexes and that is not to good with aluminum.
