Hey everyone I'd thought I'd share that we in the Lancer Community have a new product out for cars. It's a gas shock system that lifts the hood up by itself and lets you work on your engine without the hood prop being in the way.

The guys from Redline Tuning came to Omaha, NE last week installed these on my car, along with some others. Unfortunately I was in Phoenix, so I couldn't be there to ask the questions that I wanted to. The kit was just put on their site tonite so everyone should check it out and read about it to get a more indepth description of it.

They also did an install on my CF Trunk, for those of you with CF Trunks, which they should be selling also, I'll find out for sure. I'll take pics of that hopefully tomorrow night or Tuesday hopefully.

Here is the link the Lancer kit on their site:

Here are the pics, Enjoy
Let me know what you think

looks neat if it was a good price. I don't find that the hood thing gets in the way though..

 

Would these work on a evo?

 

nice product, to bad I don't really mind the prop though.

 

I'm not sure if they would but I'm sure that the hoods of the Evo are the same if not lighter than the stock Lancer hood. If you email them I'm sure they answer it better for you.

What about something like this for the trunk? Ill be mounting my amp on it and i need these to help support the extra 20 or so lbs that will be added

 

Hey Kareem-
Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I was finding out if they were gonna post the trunk setup on their site and it is now on there, here is the link:

It's awesome for people who have the CF Trunk because the torsion bars are to tight for the lightweight trunk plus these just look good in there also.

Here are the pics from the site.

Enjoy

it really does look good, i know on my current car both are gas shocked stock and its such a nice luxury, good stuff.

 

the trunk and hood look so good, i think i'll get both.

do you guys reckon its worth it for the "elite" setup? or save my dough and get the normal one?

 

That's a very cool idea.

 

hey that's pretty cool. I'd still rather spend the money on other parts though thanks for the info adam.

 

I'm not sure what the main difference is between them except one is a stainless steel setup and the other is just the black finish. I also think that the normal, which I have, has a 2 yr warranty while the Elite has a 4 yr.

It's mainly up to you...so far I'm really happy with my normal setup

this is such a wicked idea, b/c that will prevent my body kit hood from ***ing up from putting it up and down all the time

 

so how does it work, you press a button and they slowly open?

 

i like this ... my 3000gt hood came with shocks like this stock.. and its just that more convenient.. emailing them now...
