Rubber Grommet for Hood Rod...needed...

Does anyone have an extra (I know this is a long shot) rubber grommet for the hood rod? Mine died this weekend, split in two...now the rod will not stay attached to the vehicle...

If anyone is interested in selling their TEIN Hood dampers, I would be interested...or those with the TEIN's...could you spare your rubber grommet?

Thanks,

Brent

oh...

yeah...I didn't notice them last time I saw ou...I was wondering how I missed that...doing some research and finding other companies making the hood dampers for the suby...

oh, btw...installed my cousines Gruppe-S header on Saturday...went on pretty easy (pretty tight in some places) and it looks almost identical to my GT Spec...sounded really nice...on his way home, he called me and said everything felt smoother...especially up toward the top....jet hot coated also...

Chucky...

what are you using now? Do you have the Hood struts? Replace the grommet?

I think my cousin and I are going to order the TEIN's through Myron and Gruppe-S...
