This is usually my luck with things though. It could be 49 people in a row have a flawless install/DIY on their car and then mine is a one bad apple with problems
Good luck, I'm sure he'll contact you, but probably not until this evening cuz he's working during the day.

I'm sure everything will be fine.

That's cool, I'm at work right now too. I can't do anything until tonight/tomorrow morning at the earliest anyway. I think maybe I just don't have the a modders thumb.... I NEVER have success with DIY stuff. I was hoping with my new car things would be different... but theyre starting off just the same as my last car.

Problem sovled. It took just a couple of PMs with caskyline/Randy and this morning had it fixed in about 15mins. Turns out a little spring clip was the problem. I'm now a happy DIY dampered hood G35 owner

Absolutely, I think I'm kinda geekin' on them now though... I got out and popped the hood when I got to work just for the sake of doing it I think this is something our cars should've just come with from the factory though

That was how I put mine in a while ago and it creates extra pressure which damaged one of them after a while.

If you do not bend the ball joint,they will not work properly. It is very easy to bend.
I now have some more available.
