Guys,

Are we doing anything about this? Is it likely the problem will be addressed or is everyone happy with theirs?

I'm concerned about the long term effects on the hood. I had a stiff spring on an alarm relay and it was enough to kink the hood. And we all know how even Honda recommends you do not force it close by applying hand pressure.

 

I have the Comptech brace and have no problems with my hood? I have the red one. You can see a close up on my car's web site.
Did you loosen the allen's, mount it and then tighten the allens back?

 

I didn't have any problems either,but I did have to take the allen screws completely out to install the strut bar and then reinstall the allen screws after adjusting the strut bar.

 

I had to do the same. My hood is a little more difficult to close, but not that bad, and I have no bulging from it either.

Comptech needs to lower bar 1/8" and tilt bar foward . bar is hitting on hood suports. My hood is up 1/16" on drivers side at the front. Talked to Comptech they are working on problem

I talked to Bob at CompTech last Thursday. He said that the strut bar is made this way so that the SuperCharger can fit underneath it. He didn't give me the impression that they are working on a 'fix'.

Yes, my strut bar does hit the hood a little and it forces me to drop the hood from a higher position than before. So far, I don't see a bulge on my hood nor do I see the strut bar rubbing through the insulation under the hood. Since I drive about 100 miles a day, I should notice any side effects fairly quickly. I'll post a warning if I notice anything.

 

Me too have problem. Not happy about having to force hood shut. It's coming off (again) I just cant see damaging the hood for it.

 

I spoke to Bob at comptech on Wednesday and was led to believe that they ARE working on a solution. They have obviously received multiple complaints.

 

Could you give us a number so we could also "log a complaint"?

Maybe it's on the box somewhere.
