GT-Concepts hood struts
Got mine today, took about 30 mins or so to install and work very well.

Thats a pretty good price. Was that with shipping included?
Can you do me a favor and take a close up pic of the ends of the struts and how they mount also how long are they?? I think I can use the ones we have here at work. Thanks for the tip on gtconcepts

I couldn't see if a brace is added on the underside of the hood. Do you think the hood will be stiff enough to support the weight at the upper end of the strut without flexing (or God forbid, bending)?
The install looks really clean. Nice!

looks nice. I prefer MRT's because they extend only a couple of inches into the engine compartment.

I picked up some struts today. They sell at grainger and a place called Mcmastercarr for about 18 bucks a piece. I made the brackets at work.
As a bonus the r&d department where I work had two laying around like new. They were nice enough to give them to me.
As a side not its not bad at all as far as the sturt being in the way. Pics later

I do like that set up better except the big o gaudy hood bracket. You did have to drill your hood correct?? Do us a fovor and post some close ups.
