Default Hood Dampers

Who has hood dampers on their car? What kind? How do you like them? Where did you get them? Thanks!

SOS hood dampers all the way! Best quality ones out there. Can put the hood almost straight up. Can also put it half up if wanted.

Worth the extra money!

I have TEIN dampers. They were about $140, but that was over 5 years ago. They open the same height as stock. As Ryan said, some open perpendicular to the car. That would be great for some, but the hood on the S is so long if I open my hood 90 degrees it hits the rail for my garage door. This is because I back my car in, but one of the main reasons I didn't get dampers that open the hood 90 degrees.

I can disconnect the dampers in 30 seconds via a quick release pin if I need the hood open more than it does.

I have the NRG hood dampers. They allow me to open the hood nearly to 90 degrees. No issues so far whatsoever. Plus, they cane in a nice carbon fiber finish that matches my intake.
