I currently have the Redline Tuning Quicklift Elites installed on my stock hoodbutI haveordered theCervini Concept hoodand hope to have it installed next week. My question is, will I be able touse the Redline lifts on the new hood?

I'm pretty sure they have that same bolt up spot, so I would say yes...

Thanks Derek, I was also wondering if the lifts would make the hood bulge on the side since it's fibreglass.

See now that I don't know... I know Fiberglass is very tempermental so I would wait for someone like MellowYellow or someone else with a fiberglass hood already to chime in. Would definitely not want you to mess up your new hood haha...

Me niether *L* My g/f is getting me the radiator cover extensions for my birthday on Friday and I think she ordered them with the plug. I hope it's removable if I have to go back to the metal bar support. *L*

They will fit. The question is will they have enough power to lift the hood (the Cervinis is heavier then stock) and will they bulge the hood in the center where they connect.

smokenpony

mmmmmmmmm that's interesting I would have never thought a fiberglass hood would be heavier than stock. I never really thought about it bulging in the center either. Thanks

BUMP

I would really like to get some replies from members who have fiberglass hoods.

Yeah, right? Of course, the Mustang Hood, Trunk and I THINK roof panel are Aluminum. Which would explain it.

smokenpony, I just bought mine off ebay and have yet to install them. I can't force the hydraulics to compress. Did you have that problem? I know the instructions say normal hood op will fix this. just wondering if I bought a faulty pair or if it's a common thing for hydraulic struts to be impossible to hand compress
