Is the group buy completed or can the struts still be purchased for the POA disounted price? |

Posting the following two pics with this information: 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 .. |

Contacted Stephen last night on the E-mail, he called at about 10:15 and my 2 sets will be delivered the week of March 6 - 10. He had to get some correct end pieces shipped in first. Great guy!! |

Is there any concern with the stiffness doing damage to the hood.. Obviously they are much stronger than stock. Thanks |

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!! |

quote: 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.

quote: 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 |

And I'm still using my ONE Ford Explorer strut for $20 at Advance Auto I bought two years ago. Works fine and holds the hood all the way up to it's stops. Actually I filed the stops back and it opens several inches further. The hood opens to 42" |
