J-STYLE Real CARBON FIBER GC & GD BONNET DAMPERS/STRUTS
 
Ok guys & gals it's taken me a little while but I'm really happy to now be able to supply these to the PERTH-WRX community with these J-STYLE Carbon Fibre bonnet struts/dampers on an ongoing basis, thanks to everyone who has already bought these and posted pics.

I have a few other goodies that are in the pipeline and they will be put up when everything is sorted
out.


These are brand new gas dampers and have custom machined brackets to fit the specific GC & GD models, however they may also fit Forestor's too but I need volunteers for test fits.

These will come with a *1 year Warranty and have been successfully tested by myself and Tino over the past year and we've never had a problem, they have even held open Tino's bonnet for months on end whilst the engine was out and are the exact same ones used in his FAST 4's pics.


All struts/dampers are filled with long lasting Nitrogen Gas and encased in real 3K Carbon Fibre and the arms are made from highest quality Stainless Steel that gives strength and is heat tested and treated to ensure they don't bend and keep there shape.

ALL J-STYLE NITROGEN GAS FILLED CARBON FIBRE HOOD DAMPER
KITS CONTAIN:

CARBON FIBRE CASED Gas Dampers (x2)

Custom Brackets Model specific (x 2)

Ball Screws for Fender (x 2)

Ball Stud (x 4)

Fastening Clips (x4)

The installation is extremely simple and can be done with basic hand tools in under 30mins and I will volunteer to help install them if needed.
[COLOR="Red"][SIZE="5"]
NO DRILLING NEEDED AS THESE WILL BE A DIRECT FIT. [/SIZE][/COLOR]


J-STYLE STRUTS/DAMPERS available in: Silver Carbon Fibre/Black Carbon Fibre

I will upload actual pics in the next day or so but for now here is a pic
of what they will look like.

Sexxy time...

These are really nice products and have worked without failure in my car over the last yr or so..

GTB Liberty 22-07-2010 08:10 AM

PM sent Wayne - lining myself up to volunteer.

JDM_STYLE 22-07-2010 11:01 AM

New pics added,PM's replied to and big thanks to Andrew for volunteering
for a test fit on the Liberty. :thumbsup:

Mister Two 22-07-2010 11:12 AM

I volunteer for test fitting to Gen 1 Liberty. :)

Not a problem Wayne - still can't believe that a premium product from Subaru like the Lib GT-B doesn't come with gas struts anyway :confused:

JDM_STYLE 22-07-2010 01:50 PM

Ok, for members who live in the Rockingham to Mandurah region
I will be in the area tomorrow so if you are interested in a set this
is your best chance to save coming all the way to the big smoke
to get you CF fix. :D

They can be picked up from [COLOR=Red]Mandurah[/COLOR] [COLOR=Red]tomorrow only[/COLOR].... :thumbsup:

Pimpreza 22-07-2010 01:51 PM

You can use mine if you want to try a Gen 2 Liberty but I think a nutsert would be needed as the guards don't have the same hole pattern as an Impreza.

[QUOTE=Pimpreza;472046]You can use mine if you want to try a Gen 2 Liberty but I think a nutsert would be needed as the guards don't have the same hole pattern as an Impreza.[/QUOTE]

Cheers mate that would be most welcome, we will test the newer model Libs first then attempt to try all the other year models after that.

I have 2 different length strut/dampers to try so hopefully one of those will fit.

If none fit then I will talk to the factory about getting some Liberty specific ones made up but we'll see if they fit first. :thumbsup:

Just got a set of these. Easy to fit, look great and work perfectly! Thanks Wayne. :)


Justin.

GTB Liberty 23-07-2010 04:06 PM

I hope these fit - never enough underbonnet bling ;)

Too easy mate, happy to spread the CF love! :thumbsup:

MY08 Liberty - "FAIL"
 
[QUOTE=GTB Liberty;472462]I hope these fit - never enough under bonnet bling ;)[/QUOTE]

Well with an audacious use of angle grinding and arc welding we couldn't get the struts to fit :( LOL

Seriously though, turned out the upper interior lip section of the guard closest to the windscreen fouled the strut. We swapped direction with the gas strut and still failed to allow the bonnet to close.

Pleasure to meet you Wayne - lovely "S" you have there :D

I'd suggest a mirror ball to go with the lights ;)

JDM_STYLE 24-07-2010 08:09 PM

Yeah it was a damn shame as it was looking so good but never mind hopefully
we can get some LIBERTY SPECIFIC ones made up in the future and you
will be supplied them at cost for all your help in test fitting them.

Once again a massive thanks to Andrew for volunteering to be the test
fit guinea pig. :thumbsup:

To top of the night I broke my ratchet and then when leaving I cracked my
CF front lip reversing out of a driveway.:o

All that aside I did another install to another members GD up prior to going
to Andrew's and they were very happy with them, I wont mention who yet
as it was done as a surprise gift for their partner. ;):D

JDM_STYLE 24-07-2010 08:32 PM

As requested by a member I have added a pic of the struts installed,
I have put in the original post.

I will add a close up pic tomorrow when it's light. :D

JDM_STYLE 26-07-2010 06:25 PM

Ok Guys and Gal's I'm going to be in Leederville most of tomorrow
(Tuesday) from 10.30am for some damper/strut delivery meet ups
and some CHURRO's so if you want a set and you're in the area let
me know ASAP and I'll meet you at SanChurro. :D

If you need installation it can be done as well as we have private
parking at the rear of the store. ;)

JDM_STYLE 30-07-2010 05:13 PM

I'm doing a group meet/install tomorrow in Leederville between 12-1pm so
if you're interested in getting a set or having a look just let me know
so I can bring some more along.

Cheers,

Wayne :D

Poncha 01-08-2010 05:53 PM

Just got the struts installed today, couldn't be happier with them :)
Cheers again Wayne, love your work.

jesstamic 01-08-2010 06:19 PM

Will be getting pictures up tomorrow but the ones that got installed on Phils sti are awesome.
Sure beats myself being the bonnet strut or using the ol head to prop the bonnet open. (Damn him losing the metal bonnet-holder-upper-thingy)

Cheers Wayne for installing them too :)

JDM_STYLE 01-08-2010 08:25 PM

No worries guys, glad to lend a hand and install them. :D

They are a small and well priced addition to the function and
form of the any car and I'm really happy that everybody who
has purchased a set is very satisfied with them.

_daz_ 01-08-2010 09:52 PM

Yet another happy customer, lent my ratchet/socket set to the install of my own and PONCHA's set of struts as Wayne had destroyed his ratchet prior to meeting me...Wayne preferred to install on the spot himself to avoid any troubleshooting/damage problems which was much appreciated PLUS everything went smoothly bout 15mins install time total (=

One more happy customer here (=

Would recommend to anyone tossing up between these and the other struts on offer

_daz_

PS the silver set would look mint on the right cars

JDM_STYLE 01-08-2010 10:10 PM

Cheers Daz, very true about the Silver CF ones as they are indeed HAWT!

It's been a slow start with the GC owners getting these but the GD
owners have nearly cleaned me out of stock which is good!!!

So come on GC owners "get your strut on" with some quality cf bonnet
struts/dampers. :D

I will also be looking at CF aerials and bases for the 08 WRX/STi's and EVO X's
soon plus a few other CF goodies. ;)

Poncha 01-08-2010 10:59 PM

Cheers for the lend of the tools, daz. Too right, good of Wayne to install them on the spot for us.

Definitely GC's get ur strut on!!! Silver has been totally underrated until now...only reason i took the darker set was to go with my CF Strut brace (STi dark CF strut brace) otherwise would have gone the silver set to match the silver car...

these are indeed the ducks nuts

will add some pics of my own shortly...taken of my own accord & not by Wayne...well impressed by the finished product (= GC owners get in before they're all gone!!! Genuine CF rather than CF sticker overlay FTMFW y'all!!!

JDM_STYLE 02-08-2010 01:09 PM

***CONGRATS to Tiddy for bucking the trend and ordering a set
of GC8 SILVER CF ones!!! :thumbsup:

These should look HAWT on his Silver beast. :D

Also Dougie from STechnic has been kind enough to allowed me to display
some of these quality items in the workshop.

I've dropped off today 1 GD Silver CF set and 1 GC Black CF set and they are now proudly in
the product display cabinet.

Be sure to check them out anytime you pop into STechnic and if you are impressed and want
a set then Dougie will kindly hook you up.

Cheers Dougie. :thumbsup:

JDM_STYLE 20-08-2010 10:41 PM

BUMP, get your strut on! :D

JDM_STYLE 01-09-2010 12:47 AM

[COLOR="Red"][SIZE="7"]$10 discount[/SIZE] for FATHERS DAY and to celebrate

Get in quick at this rediculous price for Genuine CARBON FIBRE bonnet dampers. :D

///M 01-09-2010 08:06 PM

awesome product wayne :) thanks for coming around and fitting them!

JDM_STYLE 01-09-2010 10:11 PM

No problem at all mate! :thumbsup:

Ok I only have 2 sets of GD ones left and they are in the RARE
Silver CF, so be quick to grab a very stylish set and be 1 of only
4 people in Perth to have a set!

I've got 2sets of Black which are on hold for members so if for some
reason they don't take them they will be back up for sale.

Also I've only got 5 sets in Black CF and 1 Silver CF left for GC models
so be quick and secure yours asap before they are all gone or the price
goes back to the normal price.

Wayne :D

GTB Liberty 02-09-2010 08:04 AM

Wayne . . . we any closer to the "GTB Liberty" signature silver series? :D

JDM_STYLE 02-09-2010 08:18 AM

There is a possibility that something is in the pipeline just for you
Andrew, as soon as it's confirmed I'll be at yours in a flash! ;) :D

JDM_STYLE 03-09-2010 07:28 PM

*UPDATE, ALL GD ones have now been SOLD that includes the 3 that
will be delivered this week to those people who contacted me.

Restocking should be in 3weeks time but quicker if the remainder
of GC ones all go too.

So all those GC owners who have been contemplating getting a set
should get in quick whilst the special is still on, this current special
price of $85 for paid members and $100 for general members is valid
until the day of the Colin Memorial cruise.

Oh and I always do the installation free of charge if needed and it
only takes a quick 10mins to do. :thumbsup:

So there is only 1 set of the rare silver CF for GC left and 5 sets of
the black CF for GC.

Even Dougie and Damien at STechnic are so impressed with the quality
and lightness they're getting some for their rally cars, so I'm extremely
stoked about that!:cool:

Wayne :D :thumbsup:

tiddy 03-09-2010 09:59 PM

Silver CF for GC.
Quite impressed :)

Awesome, thanks for sharing the pics of them installed Callum. :thumbsup:

The Silver CF ones certainly look good on a Silver car! :D

rubberbudgie 04-09-2010 12:06 AM

Crap, missed the boat on these. Put me down for a set when the next lot come in :)

JDM_STYLE 04-09-2010 12:47 AM

No worries mate, I'll put you first on the back up list in case any of
the 3 people that are supposed to get theirs this week pull out then
they're all yours.:D

JDM_STYLE 08-09-2010 09:25 PM

BUMP for all the GC owners out there, the current $10 off special ends
this Sunday when the Colin Memorial Cruise finishes.

So if you want a set of Real CF Bonnet dampers at a rediculously
cheap price then get in quick. :thumbsup:

jessw 10-09-2010 10:24 PM

Thanks so much Wayne, i popped the bonnet and stood there admiring for quite sometime today, i'm glad you recommended those ones :D

Met up with Tony at the airport today while he was waiting for his flight to S.A. Told him to pop the bonnet as there was a weird smell coming from somewhere....took him a minute to realise, he was still holding onto the bonnet going WTF why is it staying up..... (i also attached a little Happy Fathers day card to one of them)

Now......do these work on a foz too.....? :D

JDM_STYLE 10-09-2010 10:56 PM

Haha, no worries Jess glad you like them! :D

I'm pretty sure we can work something out for the Foz's, let me
know when the Black Beast arrives and I'll pop over and see if we
can sort it out. :thumbsup:

jessw 10-09-2010 11:25 PM

No worries will do! I couldnt imagine putting up the bonnet without them now :D
