BTW i got the veilside not the CF but im assuming the weight is about the same since the VEILSIDE is really light

What about this one Hameed?? I just noticed it and was unsure if it's what you're looking for. It's on the left coast tho-shipping could be tough-

I saw on a japanese website before and the guy with the cf hood also had a warping problem because of the hood struts. What he did was install a longer metal plate that connects the strut to the hood. This way the "push" force from the strut would be dispersed on a much wider area (due to the long size of the metal). It solved his warping problem.

yeah i know panda has....i think only black GS would blend well with the cf hood....on any other color....no offense to those who own cf hoods....but imo i think its a bit ricey...well I think it you had really dark tint....black painted headlights, and gunmetal or black wheels...it would match alrite...

How about an adjustable air strut/shock with similar design as one of these bike air shocks? Or maybe you could adapt two of these. the air pressure is adjustable via a schrader valve
