FT86 Rexpeed Carbon Hood Damper Kit Leaking
I've emailed FT86 Speed Factory about this and I've also uploaded a video on YouTube. (Sorry for the poor quality and the constant sniffling. I have allergies and it's cold here in NY today.)
Has anyone else had issues like this? |

FT86SF customer care representative, David, has gotten back to me and will be sending replacements. Thank God I bought these from them and not eBay or I'd be holding my hood up on my head while I work on my car.

I have the 86speed hood struts, been good for 2 years. Glad FT86SF is standing by a product they sold! |

I just replaced the hood struts today and I noticed the original ones I ordered from FT86SF are slightly different. The top cap on the new kit, for example, is a nicer cleaner looking gunmetal while the old ones I replaced have a cheap crimped looking cap. The warning sticker is also in bright orange instead of white. I'm not sure if these are new changes to newer batches but I like these.

Did you get any issues after you replaced them? The price dropped to $63 so I was considering these guys below. I think they are the same you have. https://www.ft86speedfactory.com/rex...l#.XgbuEEf0mUk Still recommending? |

I bought those used, works fine for me. Wish I did it sooner. The stock hood prop sucks.
