Yeah, id love to pick up a set of hood damper kits, and as for that review, if it works on the g35's heavy a** hood then it should work on ours.....

Like I said, there are plenty of reviews here on the site itself and they hold up fine, but they don't raise it more than four degrees higher than stock height, and some say it's a little over pressured and the hood sometimes opens as soon as you release the hood latch, which isn't necessarily bad.
I would just prefer the full chrome NRG ones that raise the hood almost vertically. but again, buy with confidence, the Sokie Tech hood dampers work fine

Great work and continued patience fielding these softballs man.

Just received these:













**VIDEO**



I ordered them 1/26/11 and they arrived today so shipping was fast considering they came from the UK. These are GREAT! These are very good quality. They're thin and flexible depending on the temperature. Indoors, they were very pliable, but as soon as i stepped outside, they stiffened up. The ones i ordered are the "brush" look and they do look like brushed aluminum. Great alternative to Ricks badges at less than half the price.

Here is a link to the product:

Here is a link to their store (after searching 's2000'):

http://stores.ebay.com/Auto-Badgers/_i.htm...&_sid=668417420

I know these were already on the eBay list but i figured i would add my experience.

Im probably going to wait a few weeks before I put them on but I think i can lay it on the front bumper or tape it to the back to give you an idea. Just have to wash it (hand wash in 10 degree weather ) and wait for a sunny day

Just like to see how it fits on the car in terms of raise and flushness

Bump for baysonr, ordered my "Amuse" style front lip and hope it covers up my lower bumper scratches!

^ Awesome man, I have the same one being installed/painted right now. I'm "hoping" i'll get my car back today, if not it will be tomorrow. I'm getting ap2 bumpers and the lip painted and installed, but the first time they sprayed them the Suzuka didn't match perfect, so they were re-doing them. I'll post some pics once I get it back though.
