To Be honest I'm not sure. I would think the differences between a oem kit and cf kit is the struts would be valved to suit the weight I.e a oem kit strut would be valved to hold the extra weight? |

i'm guessing it would fit. the brace monts for the hood are still the same. only difference it'll be lighter with a cf hood. |

Hmm.. so it's more of a gentle lift on the cf hood factor. I wonder what happens if you use the normal struts on a cf hood... |

I spoke to a CF fabricator and he said that if anyone was to use the OEM kit on a CF hood it would just heighten the risk of simply snapping or damaging the CF hood. |

Count me in, I hate the standard one. Had my car for a year now and still find myself looking for the hood prop above the radiator. |

I was always under the impression JDM was Japanese domestic market... LOL it is, I'll just rather think JDM means the dream machine instead hence the smilie and "had to use that" |

When is the latest I can confirm?? I've spent a little too much cash lately so I kinda need a few days to consider. I dont want to waste you guys time, so nevermind me; if I miss out, I miss out. If any other NZers (North Islanders) want a set let me know, as I would be more inclined to purchase a set of shipping can be shared. |
