Evo8kid · 03-02-2007, 07:35 PM

nice, where they expensive? i know the tein are kinda pricey

Buster · 03-02-2007, 07:36 PM

I have TEINs and its like the coolest easiest mod ever, yes its a mod. Now you can freely work in your engine bay.

You have them on upside down. When you pop your hood, does it like fling up?

The thick part is supposed to be on the top.

here is the only pic of my car that I could find to kinda show you.

i have read a few other people with them on rsx's and no probs at all. dont know how many vehicles they make them for, but they fit and work great so far.

TalonTsi97 · 03-02-2007, 10:20 PM

Doesnt look like NRG makes em for my car, and they list them at 150 bucks on there site so 80 isnt bad at all. I will have to find another place that makes them for my car, hopefully still get them in that price range
