RE: hood struts - 1/1/2008 10:37:23 AM    733subvet Posts: 89 Joined: 8/28/2007 Status: offline well again - you guys hooked me up = THANK YOU ! ordered mine the other day from moparsupercenter - cant wait to get the right ones and get them in. what has everyone else done with the hood prop - did most of you guys (and gals) leave it on or take it off ? if you did remove it completely, how did you do it. just looked at mine and can see the pop rivet that holds it down but without drilling it out is there an easier and safer way to remove it? _____________________________ Scott T.

RE: hood struts - 1/4/2008 2:46:36 PM    733subvet Posts: 89 Joined: 8/28/2007 Status: offline C4 NOT A BAD IDEA - GIVE THE HEMI ALOT MORE BANG -but would the warranty cover it just so anyone was thinking (or cares) just got my struts in from moparsupercenter and guess what - THEY BE THE SAME DAMN PART i got from the dealer ! the only difference is the ones i got from the dealer didnt come with the fender mounting hardware as to the the hand laid fiber hood - gonna go with the shaker hood from classic design concepts, just have to be careful when i open and close it that since i will be missing a large amount of metal from the center that it wont warp it still waiting for ANY idea to how to gently remove the damn prop rod - starting tothink i am gonna have to drill the pop rivet out - DAMN   _____________________________ Scott T.

RE: hood struts - 2/11/2008 12:25:27 AM    Midnight Blue   Posts: 167 Joined: 6/4/2006 Status: offline I just left mine in. It doesn't vibrate. If it bugs you, get out the drill. When I ordered mine from the dealer, I ordered the struts and lower mounts for an 05 Magnum (my friend had one that I got the idea from). The service guys at the dealer like them cause they have more room to do their thing. Have fun. Redbeard (in reply to 733subvet) Post #: 14
