Re: TA_C10: Stage 1
Quote:
I will say this. The action of them is new so they spring up and down real nice and easy compared to the old original worn out ones. But 2 things I don't like about them.
1. When you shut the hood, I have go push down the back of the hood because they pop up a little due to their action. so each side go push them down to match the cowl level. This could be an adjustment thing. If I lower the back of the hinges down it might help so they go lower, but i'm afraid if i do that it won't line up right in the front of hood....
2. While driving around, they pop back up on me, back of hood, so after a while of driving i have to push them back down again.
It's not terrible, but different hinges would alleviate this. And of course, these things are flimsy where billet or something else are stronger.

I had the same experience with the ones I purchased. I ended up going with the CVF hinges because I couldn't adjust out the "pop up" in the back of the hood.
