Syms - Bonnet Damper

I got Yuki to put these up on J-Parts after I experimented with some of the "universal" hood strut kits. Meh. Not impressed with the hardware or fitment to any degree. This kit looks more "complete" and with more thought out mounts.

Interesting how different brands locate their struts.

They are all pretty similar in where the struts end up. But it's how the hardware gets em there. So far I think GS and Syms have it on lock. Everything else is just the rebadged bobo stuff that I bought.
