sunny San Juan Bautista,
Adam Varney and Jeff Noel are the two that make them (actually Adam has somebody make them for him). I have Jeff's. His email is [email protected] and his relocators require you to buy new hood struts. They're for a 300ZX. I bought them for $12 or $13 each from rockauto.com. Adam's kit reuses the existing hood struts. If your existing hood struts are in excellent condition then it's sort of a wash between the two kits. If you need new hood struts anyways then Adam's kit is more expensive.

[email protected] for Adams kit. I bought Jeffs kit first but after looking at the installation required I switched to Adams.

What was the problem with the installation requirements? A little drilling? Didn't bother me. Some people don't like to drill into sheet metal shrug so if Adam's kit doesn't require drilling then I guess it would be the kit for them.

Correct the measuring drilling and fishing of the wire just looked like it was going to take too long. Adams kit was simple and took me 20 minutes to install. With everything else I was looking into I wanted it straight forward and simple.

They both work and you can't go wrong with either one.

[email protected] No drilling, no new hood shocks, and a totally factory appearance. $45 is the cost shipped and I think Jeff's is $25 plus shipping plus the cost of new hood shocks($12-13 a piece eh Rick?) so in the end mine are still less (of course unless you need new shocks) shrug Anyways, I'm here if you need me thumb

i have to tell you. i had both kits, and i had to give up on the Jeff Noel kit because im a little incompetent when it comes to drilling through my hood. now this doesnt bother some people, and i think Jeff's kit looks awesome, but for me Adam's kit was just easier. just a matter of opinion i suppose.
