New Hood Dampers...the good ones!

I've been watching on the Tein site for them to release their hood dampers
for our G35s. Just this past week it happned........Tein actually has dampers
available for our cars. Not the junk K2 was selling to us in the past. The one
issue I have with them is they are Tein green........easy fix, either paint or
what I going to do carbon fiber wrap. Ordered mine from Darkside in
Northridge, Ca....$174.....Tein lists them at $180.

Poor move by tein to bolt them where they did , you loose your battery cover and the RHD one if you have it

Yea, I don't like the green froggy color either but like I said mine will be
covered with that carbon fiber overlay........and I'll change whatever I
must to retain the battery covers on both sides....mods....mods....our
way of life!

I got the first prototype and now the first production of Caskyline's dampers. Great price and no drilling. They go up pretty far and are strong. Closing the hood I have to hold on for they really want to close the hood. I know he will have carbon fiber and chrome...a little trimming on the battery cover..They are nice..

Spend a little more and get the gold ones by topsecret . i can justify for the tein but top secret ones are so nice looking.

Caskyline's are nrg and they are awesome..I like the price,and they way they look installed plus they are short 350z style and the hood goes up higher. Everyone who has seen them likes them..good buy IMO..

Damn, I didn't even know these came out!

Anyhow, if anyone is interested in getting them, I can do $170 shipped.
