I am considering getting a hood lift kit to get rid of my damn prop rod. Yes, I'm trying to keep from the pulley/chip combo by wasting my money elsewhere!
Who makes the BEST kit? I saw one I liked but it required installing some rivets in conjuction with the bolts. Do all kits require them? I don't mind using them if it's the best kit.
Anyone have a bad experience with the kits?
I'm painting the pulley guard and a few other things Torch Red to match the car and I was wanting to get a hood lift kit soon so I can have the brackets in the kit painted too. Also, would it hurt anything to paint the hood lift shocks? These wouldn't be going under high-heat to dry and I would protect the area where the cylinder compresses so no paint got in there. I just want to get all the paint done at once and only do it once.
Thanks guys.
