Hood Support Mod?
Does anyone know, or done a mod to remove the rather "cheap" hood support for some shock type supports?
Is it even possible? My I35 had the hood struts and it was so convenient to have the hood open on its own and stay open without that silly rod....<font color=blue>2old4this</font color=blue>

My dealer made it a point to tell me that the G35 is the only Infiniti to have a hood prop, and that it is because the hood is aluminum and cannot be properly supported with gas shocks.

I wasn't aware that the hood was aluminum......
it sure feels mighty heavy for an aluminum piece.....
Kevin...how did you get your remote to operate the window up function....was this a mod as well? <font color=blue>2old4this</font color=blue>

Re: Hood Support Mod?
There is a super long thread on here about the windows up with OEM remote... its under the 'technical' forum. In short, it is a microcontroller based circuit I created for my car and I am now in the process of mass producing them for sale. For more info check out www.kptechnologies.net

No faith in my wealth of useless knowledge?
Haha! The only reason I remembered that it was aluminium is because as soon as my salesperson told me I made a mental note that using the hood as a ground for a mercury tilt switch would not work!
