Re: Hood damper kit - IN PRODUCTION -

Post by projectmx »

actually the kits are $30 not $130... you still haven't said why these are worth $160? Are these kits just two struts and a few fittings and some instructions? or is there more to the kits than that?

See first post for the videos.

Honestly, I can sell the kit for $120, but this is my final price and this decision has been taken to accomodate every Mx-3 owners here.

Cheers, Ralph.

this won't be in the way of a front strut bar or anything?

ahahah this is a joke!! I made my kit for $40 fits and worked fine! I can even get the good Tien ones for $90 from my suplyer which are much better then no name ones! PS they dont work well on CF hoods as they are to flexable!

the videos are interesting but I was going through the junkyard yesterday and I saw alot of bmw's and audis that have hydraulic struts for the hood. Couldn't I just take those and make them work on the mx-3 :?:

yea I was down till I saw the price. Time for someone to do a how to hood shocks and save us all money instead of trying to sell something that will never get sold if it can be done for $40. Just My opinion
