svttim Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Can you use the hood struts with the KR hood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT0767 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 What hood struts are you looking at. I have the Red Line struts and they work well. We had them install when we were at Carlisle last year. Red Line had not install them on a KR before so they took lots of pictures as they installed them. I know that there are a couple of other members who have installed them on a KR as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotboost? Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Here are a few pics of the Redline Tuning Elite struts I recently installed. As you can see they fit the KR hood and look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford Fest Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 MRT offers a couple of struts. Just let them know that your application is for a KR hood. They offer black, carbon fiber and color match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yosemiddysam Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I have them on my 12 with a regular hood and I absoluetly love them. Spend the 20 more bucks and get the better ones. They look awesome. I will try to get a picture if you need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyKR664 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks guys, your words are gold. I agree with the upgrade. Money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 It looks like the MRT struts don't require that the hood be drilled. Do you have to drill the hood for the Redlines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyKR664 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Correct. I called the Redline folks and they confirmed it is a straight bolt on installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Great. Thanks guys. I like the looks of the Redlines better and didn't want to modify my KR hood in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyKR664 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Well I ordered the Redline Elite struts and they require 6 holes to be drilled. I noticed in the pics from Gotboost?, It is a simple straight forward bolt on, no drilling. I PM'ed Jer for confirmation as my strut instructions show they are for a 07-14 SuperSnake. As I mentioned above, Redline said that no drilling was required for the KR's so I am really confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyKR664 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I have had them on my car for two years or so. No problems Dave, did yours bolt in or did you use rivets? I think Shelby sent me the wrong ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheppd01 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Dave, did yours bolt in or did you use rivets? I think Shelby sent me the wrong ones.Bolt on. I will see if I can get some pictures for you tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyKR664 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Bolt on. I will see if I can get some pictures for you tomorrow. Dave, thanks. No rush. The pictures from Gotboost above clearly show the bolt on application. I just want to make sure I have the correct 90lb shocks. I don't want to drill 6 holes in this hood. Hope all is well!

Redline Tuning Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hello Bill, Jer sent me a link to this thread and I wanted to respond to your question. Our Hood QuickLIFT system for the KR hood is a bolt in system and It utilizes the same design as our "stock hood" system with lower force gas springs due to the KR Carbon Fiber hood. It sounds as Shelby sent you the incorrect system as you should not have to drill into your hood as others have already stated. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Regards, Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyKR664 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Andreas, Thanks. I talked to Tim and they did indeed send me the wrong item. Thank goodness I did not drill already. Can't wait to get them on my car and appreciate your response. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
