You will need a lens with a larger aperture to help reduce the graininess under low lighting conditions. When I pick up my DSLR later on (still debating on Canon Rebel XTi or Nikon D80), I'm planning on picking up a standard 50mm f/1.8 lens to play with. It's fairly inexpensive and it's got a large aperture to allow for more natural lighting. Hoping this will work out for car photography.

you still use your stock prop. Any cutting? Are you aware if these will work on a C/F hood too? Last question... These aren't the NRG ones are they, from that GB posted a while ago that ended up being a flop?

yes, these are the NRG ones. i'm not sure when randy will be holding the GB for these. however, people have already begun to order them from him. i have the chrome ones shown, but he has them in cf for a little more money.
in the pic, i use the stock hood prop to show the difference between the hood dampers and stock hood prop.
there is VERY minimal cutting required for these to fit. using a file or dremel, you need to cut part of the battery cover. with the hood dampers installed, you can't really see the hole at all.
as far as working w/ cf hoods, no. they are not meant to work with cf hoods as they have too much pressure. however, these exact same models have been put on two 350z's with stillen cf hoods and there have been no problems thus far.
