Tein is definitely the way to go - although they are a bit pricey.

Most of the threads you have posted in are from 9/10 or earlier. This is one of the later ones. It really looks like you are trying to push your post count up, because every post I have seen today from you has 1 short sentence that doesn't really add anything to the conversation.

If you are going to bring threads back that are pretty clearly dead, make sure you are really adding something, it is annoying to come on here and see a bunch of new posts and realize they are all old threads.

The idea appeals to me as well, I hate the hood prop. But if you have a carbon fiber hood here is a warning I found....

Hood Dampers should not be used with Fiberglass or Carbon Fiber hoods.

I think they don't want any responsibility because someone attaches them to a weak spot on their fiber hood and ends up cracking it. They only tested the product on the stock sheet metal hood. They don't know what sorts of aftermarket hoods may be out there.
