Wow, those hood bumper stops did nothing (they're supposed to catch the hood to prevent decapitation).

That would be Texsix's car from his interstate wreck in December.

See post 3043 of the "What did I do to My D" thread

Yikes... where are they located? do they catch the hood near the windshield and force it to bend rather than pop up?

Not familiar..haven't seen one in person.

Hey it's got K&N filter. So it's not totally useless:blackeye:
Everything under 3K would be a fair price for this:frown:

Yes, they're a safety feature in every modern car. They're the studs that stick up near the windshield. Take a look under your hood, you'll see the metal brackets with the cut out to catch them if the hood gets pushed back toward the driver.
