I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Hood Dampers

Post by JaySmith » February 13, 2005

Seen these before from Tein
Image Just wondering if it would be alright to use them on a Carbon Fibre Hood? I figure it would offer support from both sides, which would be better then using the O.E hood prop. Also isn't there another company that makes these as well?

I've seen others too. They work just like hatch or trunk hydraulics.
