chuckstang Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 seen it done but sai and everyone else Ive talked to do not advise it!!! you have a nice metal ring to rest your prop rod against so to not scratch your hood Id be happy with that, I would not want to risk bowing or damaging a $7k hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those lifts have too much pressure in them to be pushing on the carbon fiber hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made some calls and think you are correct I talked to CPC they said they done a few but they did drop the pressure in the strut from 70lbs to 60lbs and have no issue.(70lbs is what is used on the GT500 kits) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what they look like in a couple of years. That's just one mod I'd never do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
