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!

 

i have a steeda cobra r hood on my 2000 mustang and i still use the factory prop rod. and i've had no problems

 

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.

 

hi boltz,
my hood just shipped today! i missed the first shipment. it was sold out QUICK!!! i cant wait to get it.

as far as the washer nozzle i think i have that covered and the hood struts. i believe in some previous threads it was ok to use.

i'll go check on that...

 

how do you have that covered?

 

thanks muskrat! i hope it works for me too...

 

my bodyshop is either going to create the nozzle holes on the hood or i will mount it wiperblades...

i hope it works out!

 

I would attach the nozzle on the wiperblades. I would hate to have to cut holes through the hood... ouch

 

Don't cut the new hood please.

 

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.

 

Wiper mount!

 

definitely an option! thanks!

 

ok..good advice. i wont go this route! thanks

 

this is a also a great option and i know exactly what you mean.

i'll check with the bodyshop...

thanks again!

 

hi robk,
will this hood lift kit work?

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.

 

Wow I'd hate to miss a shipment. Over a month wait is... not cool. Tsk tsk.

 

I think this style looks better

 

the first shipment?? are they making these or is it an import?
