Hey you guys are talkin about me! Sweet....
...Yeah the kit I had was the AndysAutoSport.com Full Octane kit. It sucks a lot! Ive taken it off and opted for a milder lip kit. My ride looks nothing like that anymore...

It sits way too low in relation to the stock ride height. Without having any drop at all on the suspension I would scrape everything possible. The kit just sits weird on the car. Also, getting the kit to initially fit was a nightmare. Total cost to have it installed... $2500 w/ out paint!!!

What hood shocks are those Peruzzi? I was wanting those quick lifts but at indoor shows I won't want to open my hood all the way. Those like like they don't go up all the way or something.

From one of the photos the hood lift is either Tein or Tein wanna be since they are Tein Green.
As for hood lifts isn't it really a matter of how you install it to see how high the hood goes up? If that is all the higher it opens the hood how do you do any work to the engine???
But hey what do I know my car is how I got it from the dealer.

They are the genuine "TEIN bB Bonnet Struts" They do open all the way. They also will hold the hood open at almost any angle below 45 degrees. Once the hood hits the 45 degree angle it opens and it opens with some intesity. The struts are very powerful. I suggest them highly...
