What year did Comptech change from have a indention for the hood prop to the cut-out? Is there an advantage to one or the other?

Pics of both would be appreciated!

Thanks

 

you should call Comptech on Tuesday and ask them. they answer the phone regularly and provide great customer service now

 

Dang it man. I was looking at some pics and saw that the lids are different. I don't think the one I bought from you will fit my box. Oh well, I'll either resell it, or make it work. Thanks again.

 

?? they should all be the same i thought...this is from a supercharger kit

 

no. The indentation came out after many people didn't like the fact they had to modify the stock hood prop.

 

^^didn't know that, since i never had this installed on my car. i have a friend that has the indented one and it is much easier to put his hood prop in than in the ones with the slots. it also looks much, much nicer. how exactly do you have to modify the hood prop?

 

gotta cut a tab off the prop so it'll clear the opening.

Mine rattles though cuz it barely touches metal tab where the plastic stay is for the hood prop. I just ground down just a smidge (~ 1mm) off the cover to clear the tab. I saw where it was rubbing on the metal tab.

 

The hood prop was a PITA.

Go with hood dampers and remove the prop. You'll love it!

 

I woulda gone with hood dampers but I have a cf hood and I was scared it would damage it after awhile.
I thought my intake box was just not alligned right so I cut my hole bigger heres a pic, mine clears fine now and the plastic piece is still on it

 

BondoBuilder, ^^that's why i preferred the indented one. i don't like cutting ready-made products
