T1R Hood damper ?
i understand the price isn't "set" yet. but the original post stated it would be around $90 CAD/US.
This morning I noticed that my hood wasn't flush with the fender on the damper side, it looks like it might be hitting my strut tower bar. I unbolted the damper and then closed it and the hood went back to normal. I need to investigate this further. Some spacers where it bolts on at the top might fix this.
After inspecting it we may just have to adjust where it's bolted to the hood arm. Move it down a bit, becuase it doesn't actually appear to be hitting the strut bar after all.

Thats good that its an easy fix. Do you know what price or when these are gonna get fully released yet? Thanks in advance.
Please test them before shipping... PLEASE... I'm tired of all my purchases for my Fit needing modification to the original specs...
My Scosche kit... my amplifier... my hood deflector... they all needed modifications... I would be very upset if my hood damper needs modification other than the two holes to be drilled.

I see it is now listed on the AJ Racing web site:

It wasn't compatible with my J's front strut bar, be careful with what strut bar you are running with this hood damper. Other then that, the damper itself looks great and performs well
I could make it work with my J's front strut but it would require grinding a small part of the strut mount down.
