Where can I get a light weight hood prop to replace the shocks? Struck out doing a search.

Your Porsche dealer has the real RS/CUP hood prop for no money, but it can't handle the stock steel hood, it's too heavy. Sombody here will say that it does, but I wouldn't trust in on a windy day...

Pelican Parts has one in carbon fiber. But remember to store it correctly before you close the lid or you could brake it with the tower brace ![grr](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/cussing.gif)

I have a carbon fiber hood. Anyone have issues using the RS strut and a carbon or fiberglass hood?

Thanks, I'll make a trip to my local Porsche dealership after my night shift.

For whatever it's worth I had the RS/Cup hood prop on my car with a steel hood and never had a problem. I don't recall ever having the hood up on a windy day so I will defer to you on that score.

I use an old broken hockey stick cut down to the right length - got a shorter one for the rear as well.
Cost - "priceless" (actually the stick was about $50 new, but it served it's purpose)
Go Canada, eh!
