... but my chin was whacked!
The bang on the head had happened to me and most of us with older cars, I'm sure.
But when I replaced the hood of my car with a carbon fibre one (33 lbs lighter) I thought nothing of the struts.
So I installed it, everything fit nice but was off about 2 mm to one side, then I opened it to adjust and as I pushed the lever to allow the hood to open, it got pushed up so fast that caught me off guard and the edge caught my chin.
Four stitches later I was fine but I'll never forget hat.
Come to think of it getting the head cracked was less painful than getting the chin whacked!
Happy Boxstering,
