@saabkyle045 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't recommend it. From everything I've researched and seen, CF and FB hoods have risk of cracking when struts or even prop rods are used. It has to do with the force you have to pull on top of the hood when using struts, or the fact that weight isn't evenly distributed when using a prop rod. I suppose it's possible if you are super careful and be gentle, but again, I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it and it messing up your hood. I know those aren't cheap!
