------------------ still available embe... give Mr. Fenner a call at the above link.... This message has been edited by GenoTex on 02-26-2006 at 05:18 PM The first pic shows the hood fully raised, with the yardstick sitting on the top of the grill... showing around 38-40 inches fully open. The second pic shows the 'resting' balanced opening to be at about 28 inches... the point at which the hood is 'balanced' between open and closed on its own. For what it's worth .. it was free with the purchase of 6 autos over the last 8-10 years Ed... what a deal eh? Got a coupla hats too! I know what you mean. When we bought my wife's Mercedes SUV 6 years ago, the guy gave her a FREE hat. Or was it a free SUV and a 40 grand hat?LOL I agree! The prices are way too high. I deal with many vendors for these type items. I never wanted to spend the time involved in these props but it bothers me that a non-paying/advertising vendor is selling products at a substantially above a fair market value on the POA. This message has been edited by Larry Lord on 04-21-2006 at 02:40 PM Larry Lord has been a Prowler owner as long as I have. He has made many QUALITY products and at a reasonable price to help his fellow Prowler owners improve or maintain their car. I'm glad I'm not the only one to think this group purchase is a little high. I tried to get the shipping cost to Indiana from them. They wanted me to call. Well they knew the zip code to ship them to so they could have given me a total price from that. From what I seen the shipping they are charging I could buy one shock for that locally. And the discounted price for the black I could buy 2 sets. I have seen where they check the pressure to make sure they are correct. I'm sure this is correct that time is the big enemy with these gas shocks. So a shock that has been on the car or on a shelf will have similar life. Temperture plays a big part as they age too. I got an e mail after I posted I replaced the shocks on my trailer for $45. I was able to pick from 4 different ratings. I have not checked to see what the hood shocks would cost, but my guess it would be about the same. My truck topper shocks also $45 a pair. IF it cost me $80 for black and $20 for shipping for a $100 total and I can buy locally for $45 and have to buy them twice as often that leaves me $10 for the gas money to go pick them up (GOOD THING IT IS ONLY 6 MILES)In my truck at 15mpg city I will use 1 gallon of fuel if I make a special trip and at $2.90 a gallon. I'M STILL MONEY AHEAD BUYING LOCALLY. I also have the prop rod on my car. I added the gas shocks with a Tom Mills Gas shock conversion kit. So I have not changed the shocks since I have a back up. But I plan on changing them soon. I will let everyone know the part number and cost at my local Car Quest, unless Larry comes up with a better price. Yes, you can buy a Kia for less than 10 grand, they seem to be selling well in my area. I have bought or hired out work on bids for years. I do not believe in the lowest bid. I BELIVE IN GETTING THE BEST VALUE FOR THE MONEY. Sometimes it is the lowest bid. sometimes it is the highest bid. IF the shocks from LST would last 3X longer than off the shelf at 2X the monry it would be a deal. If it cost the same, locally is the place to get them as you need then without th shipping. Since I work for FORD, I would not drive a Kia, but many people can not afford better. They have stole the style from all the other makers worldwide. If in the market for a new vehicle and was comparing best value for the money it could be it though. My 2 Cents This message has been edited by WildCat on 04-22-2006 at 08:48 AM Geno, Here's a list of what I have in stock.

Please be aware that the Group Purchase on these Prowler Hood Supports both in Black and in Polished Stainless style, is still available.
Thank you to those who have supported our product.Randy Cobb Geno- eileen gugy Is there any concern with the stiffness doing damage to the hood.. Obviously they are much stronger than stock. Thanks GenoTex none whatsoever eileen. .. give stephen a call, he can talk to you in depth about it, but tried/tested on prowlers and his pressure is calibrated on each set that goes out the door. redheet55 Congrats on the upgrade. I put the stainless ones on and it took about 10 minutes flat (okay, I went to the fridge and grabbed a beer during that time too). Steve is a great guy to work with and supports us well. My ONLY CONCERN is the price. Ouch on the stainless. But man do they work well!! Larry Lord quote:

I should be able to help with the pricing soon.
Hold onto your money for a while guys. I'm working on it.
Stainless and black should be available at a much reduced cost.GenoTex I hear KIA sells cars for under 10K...any truth to this??? WildCat quote:

Stock props are a better value in my mind but that's just my opinion.
Please don't take this personally. I know you spent a lot of time to find this vendor.
If I can get the props (and I think I can), I'll be very happy to send them to you in bulk and let you sell them at any price you feel comfortable with. I have no doubt about the quality of the LS props but I can assure that mine will be comparable or even better. Even if they only were to last only 2/3 as long but are sold at one half the price they would be a better value for your dollar. My point is that the current prices are just too damn high and the profit is going to a vendor that doesn't even advertise on the site.
If LS decides to drop their prices to something more realistic, I'll be more than happy to back away from this prop deal.
Peace be with you my friend!
