Where do you guys get your HOOD SHOCKS?

[lifesnotfair]

I hate looking for a stick to hold my hood up. I need the hood arm shocks... don't see them on eBay. Well, just a guy who says has a lot of shocks for many cars... but people like this I don't like, coz sometimes they're outta stock and have to refund me and stuff like that, I hate it.

napa, autozone, im sure you can buy some off a part car for really cheap (check the for sale section, or post in the want to buy)

 

[Squid699]

better off just going to a parts store, like you said and pay the $40. It's worth it.

 

[lifesnotfair]

Believe it or not, I've looked for them (just a little bit) and couldn't find them around here. I live outside the US. Damn, guess nobody buys these online if they live there

 

[gixxer750]

Which ones do you think I should get? What the heck is the difference?

 

[lifesnotfair]

Ok, bought the cheap ones, SASCH or something, it's what the guy at cygnus used. (Saw from link). Thanks isnms!

 

[meagainstheworld]

lol, I bought a pair of cheap ones from Crappy Tire and just ghetto rigged em on there. I could catapult a small dog off my hood, the things are so strong.

 

[lifesnotfair]

LOL! Catapult a dog off your hood, funnies thing I've read all day

I hope to one day put a carbon fiber hood... But dunno when that day is going to be, because 600 bucks plus 200 ground shipping plus flying that huge box overseas to me... it totals like a month's salary

 

[lifesnotfair]

With the fiber hood, the struts probably last like, 100 years, right?

I got a friend in the States to go buy me a set from one of the big chain stores and ship them to me here in Australia as Genuine was so expensive.
