NRG Innovations CARBON Fiber Hood Dampers/Struts Group Buy!!

**Paperchasin** · 12-12-2005, 12:22 PM

I've been motivated to sell more products by my suppliers with a discount and now im offering it to u guys here...NRG Carbon Fiber hood dampers....no drilling involved...comes with all hardware...completely reversible...for those of u that dont kno, the only other company that sells these in carbon fiber is Prova, and they are ~$300 a set...my regular price is $140...but get in on these now for only $125 shipped!!! the only catch is i need a minimum of 10 buyers....enough talk, here are some pics...

this group buy is expected to end on December 26...
regarding use on carbon fiber hoods: most carbon fiber hoods are not of good quality and build as people may think...the force of the struts while opening the hood may cause the hood to crack at points of mounting...this applies to closing the hood as well, as there is a bit of initial force needed to close it....testing and fitment of the dampers were performed on OEM hoods, and thus the use of the dampers on carbon fiber hoods is not recommended and is mentioned as a disclaimer to customers....

feel free to post and chime in if u are interested and i will get the list started...thanks

as soon as i am able to get at least 10 people to sign up and want these, i can ship them as i receive payment, on an individual basis...hows that sound?? the reason i say the 26th is cuz i wanna give people time...

Ive had both the tein and the NRG units on my car and these are identical to the teins...the only difference is the green color...

Ol'SaltyBastard · 12-14-2005, 05:40 AM

I have the Tein's and had them painted to match the body color as that seasick green doesn't match anything. Save yourselves the aggrivation (and the extra $$$!!)

Bump.
