Tein hood dampers

I emailed Tein and asked if they had any plans of making these for the TL in the future. They said no, but if more people asked about them then they would more than likely start making them. They need to know there are people that would buy them. I want some, and if anyone else does, email them and let them know! sales@tein.com

I think I read somewhere that you can modify your mounting points and use the dampers from another application. I think...

I think it's a waste of money. Think about another mod you can do with that bread.

This is kinda off topic, but is there any hood dampers that can open my hood past 40 degree angle? Thanks for your help.

So there isn't a specific one then... Man why couldn't they just make it easier for us. It seems like every mod for our car is difficult even the most simpilest ones.

My OEM ones still easily lift the hood w/ out any effort. But I'd buy some Tein's for maybe $60 a set. The 3G ones go for like $130..
