How much i need some
$65 shipped. Came from Taiwan. Guy on ebay has great feedback about them. They don't need drilling and riveting. They use the hood hinge and a ball replaces a fender bolt. I'll post pics nice installed.

nice! Definitely want to see how that works out
Installed them today despite the fact that we had rain. It stopped for a lil bit so I jumped at the opportunity to install them.
Here is the hood bracket. It has a 4 way position slots so u can the best one for your car. This is the way it should sit so the shock gets tucked in and doesn't make the hold bulge up.

Fender side, please don't mind the filth.

Plastic clip that holds the washer fluid hose in the fenders needs to be removed.
My impression about them: I've never used any hood shocks before so wasn't sure what to expect. U know they aren't top of the line but they r good. Open the hood and lift it up a lil bit and it will slowly finish on its own. I know the redline lifts up completely on its own so much have stronger shocks.
Overall I'm satisfied with them.

How far back will those acuators push the hood back. I want to my hood to open up honda style
He means straight up with no angle. It will have to be spaced, my dumbass
forced mine once and cracked the windshield.

I would keep the stick for winter lol
Yes.. both talking about a 90° hood
By the looks of the picture it is not.
Easy fix. Finding the stopping point of the strut, (on the chrome part) mark, extend where your want, mark, then measure. Lets say its 4" from each mark (on the chrome part of the strut)
Measure 4" from original quarter panel bolt towards the windshield. Drill hole and score it. You have to feel for the right pressure you want to get the hood spot you want
Struts dont have the same strain when at an up-right position but like (oak) said put a stopper or you will have to replace a windshield cuz strut will push it pass the 90° angle
yea definetly don't want to replace a windshield but I thought it might be possible.
My volvo used to do that but the design of the hood didn't go high into the fender by the windshield so that allowed it to open vertically. I'm assuming Hondas are the same way as well. It was definitely nice to be able to open it that far to have more room to work with the hood not being in the way.

^^ tru dat
Your right. I need a new shell. Mine has an accident under its belt
The only way I can think to very easily make the Galant hood open that far would be to make slide towards the front of the car when you first open it to give some gap between the hood and the windshield. Either that or a double hinge that will lift the hood up as it opens, to make the clearance.
No real updates. Been working like crazy with no time to do anything.
Projectors are here. Ordered halos too.
Big plans coming soon. If everything goes as well as I hope then I'm gonna have some major updates next month.

There isn't much to it really. Buy some 8ga wire and some copper terminals. Measure the length of each wire to your desired location then cut them. Either crimp the terminals or solder them. And heat shrink them. Different diameter terminals for different bolts.
There are a bunch of threads if u search Google that show best spots to install them. The most important is the alternator to firewall. I also added one on the tranny and on the name manifold and one on the valve cover.

Lil teaser of what's coming.
Emusa 38mm wastegate. Bought this for my volvo but sold that and kept this along with some ss lines and AN fittings.

if u are installing the evo fuel rail then u need to get shorted bolts. the original bolts are m8x2.25" i bought 1.75" and those were still long but they worked so i say get 1.5"
oh and i changed the engine bay color once again but this is the last time i change it lol
