Thx for the link, seems worthwhile but not yet on the Slingshotonly site.

Seen Noel with it ...soon to be a must have item...very practical when tinkering with engine bay and showing off painters work.

Pretty fancy !
We normally just remove the hood to show off our goodies. 2 bolts 2 nuts and its off and out of the way. -
I'm still looking for electric actuators to lift and close the hood. I saw the video of it over a year ago and I still haven't seen a kit come to market.

I have spent about 30 hrs and have tried 3 different actuator sizes. I have actually gotten the hood to lift and close but NOT successfully each time. Second thing is having the hood to pop open with a 45lb pull door solenoids on each side... Timing issue of having the trunk unlocked and then for the actuator to engage. Taking the idea from most rear SUV trunks that auto pop (unlatch) and then rise... ITS GIVEN ME A HEADACH.... I kind of shelfed the idea until winter. When I was at DDM I showed Dave all of my unsuccessful mounting points for the solenoids. GGRrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

thats a nice system.... wonder what the cost will be. Like the extra room.
Hate a lift system developed and will be sending test samples out soon. Been behind on a lot of things lately... sad. -

That hood lift looks great. Looking forward to the price.
-
uhhh.....that's all fine and good. But, if it throws off the hood alignment at the front that bad they can keep it. It's a inch above the headlight surround and looks like almost 2" above the front bumper. The hood should hang over the headlight surround. I hope that is just a preproduction model and not the final product.

Good eye! Went back and watched a second time, and you're right-- alignment looks really rough- sure would defeat all the time I spent getting it right!

You think they would tackle that before posting....hopefully it's a simple tweak.

My guess is that all four latches were not locked in completely.

Hey @rabtech this guy was at the Adirondacks. All I know is his name was Rodney. N J sling knows him and might be able to help.

Can't find price...? Hopefully reasonable?

A month later and still not on the Slingshotonly site..Has anyone installed this? Did it change the front hood to fender alignment? Cost?
