I've heard that hood dampers aren't recommended for CF hoods. Not sure where I heard that from or why though, you might want to look into it though.

This is generally b/c it takes more pulling force to shut the hood than the carbon fiber hoods can safely take without cracking. With that said, I've seen plenty of people using them with CF hoods w/o issue.
