Your comment isn't complete, but I see what you're saying. However, the kit can't be installed the other way around. Furthermore, every supplier of these kits inidicate to install in this orientation.
I bought a set of these. They arrived quickly. I installed them easily. They are just a bit too tall where they attach to the fender. I'm pretty sure that they would start scratching the paint on the underside of the hood if I left them in place. So I took them off. I do like them though so I looked for lower profile rod ends. I did not find any so I am contacting the seller to see what they might be able to do.
I got some for my EJ9 and plan to pair it with hood spacers just in case this very thing. Havent done the install yet as I have non cosmetic things I am trying to finish first.
Check the pinned comment thread on my video. The link is there. Someone already asked before. I purchased on aliexpress but Amazon you'll just have to search for the civic application. I've seen it on there but don't know what brand they are.
Still holding up perfectly. No clearance issues. Hood opens fine each time and I've been popping the hood a lot. Very happy with these. 😁 I never get tired of opening my hood and going woahhh. Lol.
The thing with hood shcoks is that they arctually are moving with every bump in the road... they are never static... thats why they seem not to last a long time...so it doesnt really matter how many times you open and close your hood.
Many of the forums I've read about hood shocks had no problems lasting. However, mine may not last as long as others since they're a China branded shock, but it's a neat little mod.
@@BudgetGears They probably dont daily their cars and even if they probably sell them after 5-6 years.. yours will last along time since you barely drive it...
Is that why rear trunk shocks don't last long too rob ...as much as we drive our cars they will last a super long time no need to worry I hate that prop stick .
Where did you get the kit?
I got mine from Aliexpress, but they're also available on Amazon and Ebay.

Good work. But I think it was installed the other way around. That way the oil will be pointing downwards and that affects the

What was the size in length of those hood struts? How many mm?

Are these pressure adjustable for lightweight carbonfiber hoods?
No, they're not adjustable. I don't think these would be suitable for a carbon fiber hood.
Would this struts fit if you have spacers on them ?
It should. The struts are bolted to the hood hinge. The hinge will move the same with or without spacers.
Great video do you have a link for the hood shock’s
I linked it in a reply below to someone else. I'll see if I can pin that link on top so everyone can see it.
Do you have the Amazon link or what brand they are

How are they holding up ?
Still holding up perfectly. No clearance issues. Hood opens fine each time and I've been popping the hood a lot. Very happy with these. 😁 I never get tired of opening my hood and going woahhh. Lol.
I'd put the password jdm washers back in there if you can.
It won't fit with the shock bolt. I tried and didn't work. And it'll probably sit too high. The shock bolt as is just clears the hood.

@@littlejapanesehotrod OEM hatch shocks lasted along time.. aftermarket.. not . also depends how much the car is used.
