good stuff. whered you go about purchasing these dampers? and how much $$$ did they cost you? and how was the installation? was there a place under the hood to mount them already, or did you have to make some modifications? was it easy to install?

very easy to install, just did one side at a time to make sure things were working. yes, there is a bolt on the lowest part connecting the hood to the rod that you take out and replace with the damper. and the other part that connects to your lower engine bay is simple too! the kit comes with a bolt that has a round top to wrap the damper end onto.

i purchased from http://www.therpmstore.com/product_i...eca1726ead94e6

total installation took about 10 minutes! easy in and out... loving the appearance!
