looks great. and yeah my hood dampers cause a slight fitment issue. and i know exactly what you need, hold on ill see if i can find a link to these new dampers. i need them but they are kinda pricey.

and yes more pics!

here you go

NRG Carbon Fiber Hood Damper Kit - Subaru WRX / STi 00+: Evasive Motorsports - PH: 626.336.3400, M-F 9am - 5pm PST

they are priced too bad there. but you want the light weight hood ones. and you should deff get them, see if they fix the problem, and how hard they are to put on cause i really want a set.

but want to see if they do the trick first.

cool, thanks!! yeah, they are a bit pricey but i think they'd be worth it. i'll do some looking around and see if i can find any cheaper. install should be fairly easy, i imagine

L-SCHLEGS · 05-27-2009, 10:21 AM

yeah they are made by NRG which is probably going to be the best deal anyway, hmmmm i may pick up a set and see how they do. i wonder if they are for the GD chasis specific or can fit any car really. i need to call em up or something. 130 shipped wouldnt be do bad if we could find em at that price

i think you're right, did some quick checking and Tein makes some, but they are more expensive. i guess i wasn't expecting hood dampers to be so expensive!
