How many of you connected the stock hood shock to the CF hood. I have not connected mine and I am wondering if this will put added stress on the hood or if I'm just worrying for no reason. Those with a CF hood, speak up.

Last time I saw that done it caused the hood to get tweaked all wierd. But e30 hoods sit different, should be alright.91 m3 -
I don't think it weighs enough to deform under it's own mass, and carbon fibre is notoriously rigid. Hood shock might make for a cleaner install though, and ease your troubled mind

Post pictures of the hood!
I don't see why the hood shock would be a problem with the CF.

It's not so much the weight of the hood as its the pressure that the shock puts on only one side of the hood.Originally posted by motorprestigeI don't think it weighs enough to deform under it's own mass, and carbon fibre is notoriously rigid.

I don't know how much bracing the VIS CF hoods have, but they are fiberglass hoods with only 1 top layer of CF so they aren't as stiff as you'd hope.Comment
