Looking for Hood Dampers meant for CF hood.

As the title states, looking for hood dampers that will actually work for CF hoods. Bought the Rexspeed Hood dampers off of XTR Performance a few months back, and his listing never stated they wouldn't work for CF hoods. Received the package and the pamphlet inside even stated that they WOULD NOT WORK FOR CF HOODS. Hell, I put 100 lbs of pressure on the damn things and they wouldn't even budge from their position.

Anyways, anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.

Contact him. Give him the measurements (size of hood hinge bolts, distance from hinge, etc.) and weight of the hood...he'll do the rest.

What about GrimmSpeed's? I believe there was mention that they were confident it would be fine on a CF hood. That is, assuming we're talking about the twin's hood...
Might be a problem though since there is a bit of a wait. I'd call them. Maybe they could work something out.
