I am getting another A4 and it has CF hood but no way of supporting the hood. I was wondering if it is possible/or even good idea to install OEM hydraulic on drivers side. If it is even possible is it safe for hood?? Holding hood from about half way up on far side does not offer much support for the rest of the hood. Has anyone done or hear of making some sort of custom rod to hold the hood open? I know somewhat primative, but better than holding the hood with my arm! Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks guys.

so no one really has permanent solution such as hydraulic?

if for show.. get a nice aluminum or CF rod done..

I might even try to find someone local who is interested in swapping their stock black 00-01 hood for mine (plus a few bucks probably) Someone on A4 forum just suggested looking for Jetta Manual stick and bolting it up somewhere up front. not a bad idea.

Not sure if entirely true, but kind of makes sense.

at least I hope, we will see, thanks for the help and suggestions

...you paid too much for a hood that weighs too much.

you should just go with a honda then.. sell the audi

Would still like a more permanent solution
