Just to let you know if your thinking of going this way. I bought the greddy air diversion panel and it also has the same problem in terms of the hood prop indent as Dr. Isotope "alternative panel". There is none so now I have to go and buy the proplift. I love the look of the panel especially on my silver scion since it matches the car color. Just FYI in case you thought that greddy addressed that problem.

 

Nope, I have the redline hood lift just for this reason. My prop rod went into my trunk for a few months because of the panel.

The hood lift is WAY worth it and easy to install, so I'd stongly suggest going that way even if you don't have the diversion panel.

I'm also a big fan of my panel... Check out my photos and you can see it.

 

why don't you just drill a hole?

 

I actually wanted to buy the hood prop but it was on the back of my mind in terms of mods so I am kinda forced to buy it. In terms of drilling, The panel looks real clean and I did not want to mess it up with an not-so-professional job or drilling into metal. I bet someone out there with better skills then me could have done it but I did not want to. Greddy also really follows the natural lines of the car. ALso for only a tad over 49.99 shipped I thought it was not toooo expensive (more then Dr.isotope) but they have gone down in price.

 

where did you buy the hood lift?

The hood prop hole has been addressed on my panels since about panel #19. The prop hole is optional, as those who are Redline equipped obviously do not need the hole.

And I am still producing panels, still $30 shipped, still available textured or smooth. Anyone who wants one, PM me.

 

how do we remove the stock prop rod?

 

lift it up straight up and then lean it toward the drivers side and pop the little plastic holder out... the rod just has an l bend holding it in.

 

Holy F!

Is this on the stock hood?, just curious cause I want this mod, but not sure if it will work with a CF hood, thanks.

 

I still run a stock hood...

They have a lesser powered one I believe for CF hoods, you can call them...

This one would blow a cf hood right off...LoL. it's ALMOST too powerful for the stock hood IMHO.

 

Thats what I figured, thanks for the reply .

 

i put 2 on with my c/f hood, didn't like the way it was sittin with just that 1 installed.

 

Man, that'd be a catapult if you let go of it.... they set you up with softer struts?

 

when i ordered, i told them i had c/f hood. wut they sent me works fine, doesn't launch my hood open at all.

 

Where can i purchase the Dr. Isotope ABS Radiator Cooling Panel?

 

I installed the Greddy Panel Yesterday. I saw the same problem. Luckly I have the Hood shock installed by Redline tuning. So I finally got around to removing the stock hood prop.

 

hey guys..not be flamed at or anything...but what exactly is a hood prop? is it the thing that holds up the hood? and if so..does the greddy panal cover it?? and is that what this dudes taking about bc im like confused lmao thanks
