Question for this with billet battery tie downs..

What did you do for your hood prop =). I want to get one from garm but noticed it dosnt have a hood prop holder like the oem one. One simple solution would be to get a hydralic hood lift but they only make them for the LB not the sedan.

When I had the tie down on my car, I just put the prop in front of the battery, never had a problem or any noise.

likewise... it's heavy enough not to really move around. You could get freaky and use some velcro to hold it in place..

Velcro is exactly what I used. Pic shows it on the Tanabe. Works like a charm.

Bought the Redline Tuning hoodlift. It's nice b/c my fingers don't get greasy/dirty handling the prop rod.
