something like this?

..i can't find them anywhere for a DA...but i work at autozone and see they have some hatch lifters i could try...they're very stiff tho and i have a cf hood

 

I'm thinking you could use any damper from a auto parts store. I am wondering this same question about my rear dampers, they have gone to hell.

 

i thought so...as long as i measure right. the thing is that those things have been sitting FOREVER..i can't even compress it with my weigh so i'm scared my hood wont be heavy enough to close it

 

Tien makes some but I heard you're not suppose to use them with CF hoods cause of the pressure will eventually break the hood.

Yeah, it will probably be too much for a CF hood and crack it.

Why do you need one of those anyways? Too lazy to prop it up by hand?

 

yeah tein doesn't seem to make one for a DA and i can see why

too lazy? damn right lol...also the stick i have now is just so something random and shakes at idle so it metal hitting metal...imagine the looks i get a red lights lol

 

thats why i kept it in the trunk or behind my seat when i owned the car.

 

the prop in my old prelude...back in the day.

it use to pop out of place and lay against my p.s pulley...make the most horrifying screetching noise ..then when i opened the hood sparks were flying.

 

why not get some blown hatch shocks? as i am sure blown ones could hold the weight of a CF hood? kinda ghetto fab but hey it might work
