NRG Hood Dampers
#51
Just installed a set.
Trick for me seemed to be installing the hood bracket slightly crooked. That gave the ball joint proper clearance. I guess that's to be expected with aftermarket parts
Also, i pre installed the ball joints, then when installing the damper I compressed the shaft and screwed it in. The fender mount ball joint security pins are a real bitch!
The last photo shows how the dampers give the hoodline a slight bow and increase the gap. O well.
