Hood struts
 

I'm hoping that some of you have installed this mod because I have been searching the web for a while now to see if any vender has created a part for the hood. Anyway,I was wondering if you guys have done this to your hood. If so can you send me the part number, or what to order, so I can order these. A.S.A.P. then that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I did. I like it, but be sure to carefully protect any painted surface around where you'd be drilling and riveting first. When I caught on, I used several layers of electrical tape to protect painted edges... like the back of the hood, etc... One slip and you got a ding that you'll need to repair.

These are something that while I would love to put on my car I just can't really justify the cost. Especially with a baby on the way.

haha i know what you mean, i'm not economically inclined to build a car yet, but i'm doing whatever i can to do anything to my car. I'm working at the bank though so for sure i'm going to be dropping a lot of money on my car.

At the time, they were around $65 shipped. They have since gone up a bit.Think I bought it from Never Enough and that was over a year ago.

And Spots, I know what you mean, but there is just no substitute for raising and lowering the hood w/ONE HAND!!! I now sometimes do itjust cause I can.What others take for granted, I've been missing foryears.
I'vedealt w/strut rods for many years on many different vehicles and the honeymoon is definitely over for me.
