stock prop stick on Fiberglass HOODS
hi all,
can i continue to use the stock prop stick with an aftermarket fiberglass hood?
or does it require a hood lift kit?
i ordered the trufiber '68 kr style hood....
thanks!

Yao,did you get the hood yet?? Whats taking so long???
i noticed on their web site that the hood does not have wiper nozzle holes nor does it say that particular hood can be used w/hood struts.

The wiper nozzles on my Cervini ram air hood are mounted to the hood near the cowl. You don't see them from the top down, only from inside the car looking out over the hood. No holes drilled. Might be an option to look at for the Truefiber hood.

Don't use a prop rod on a glass hood, it'll splinter to pieces. You should go the 4 pin lift-off route to be safe.
Of course I'm kidding.
I'm such an ***! You'll be fine, just don't try closing the hood without lowering the prop rod.

You've got me. I'd be more inclined to think a setup with a robust bracket along the lines of the MRT piece would be safer. I don't think I'd go with something that mounts to the hood itself. I know there's been a ton of discussion about using lifts with a glass hood. I think as long as you're gentle when initially getting the hood moving you shouldn't have an issue.
