Default Hood Props

So I played with a set of hood props tonight and made my one mounts and brackets and got a set to work. Took a lot os moving and messing with them but they are on there and working. Sorry for the crappy pics. I will post better pics once I know they work good the way I want them to.I got tired of waiting for everyone that said they where coming out with them.

no kidding!!!

i got a set from ebay, chrome, nice quality and easy to install. the only problem, they open the hood only 2/3 of the way using the stock mounting positon in the front (the bolts right behind the headlights where the fender is held on). so, i drilled a hole in the fender on both sides about 2" back (towards the windshield) from the fender bolts and it opens almost all the way up now. the hardest thing was finding metric nuts for the kits pivot bolts.

they go in the oposite direction of nolimitz, which look super pimp!! another sweet mod, my man!!!
