Just ran across these hood struts from GT Concepts... $59.95. What's interesting is on these you don't need to drill/rivet bracket on hood... only the bracket on the fender. Also, no risk of hood misalignment as you only loosen one of the hood hinge bolts. Just curious if anyone has installed these or has heard of GT Concepts?

it is the redline kit turned upside down and the bracket is just remade so it can bolt the bracket to the hood

seems less risky than drilling hood and trying to stablize the rivet gun on the hood. These appear to be 'old' redline based on the angle of the strut. Aren't the new redline struts more 'vertical'?

I have the old version, and haven't had any issues so far. Even in the windiest of days at car shows, my hood won't fall.

yeah i posted pics of the new kit on the 1st page the redline kit is awesome and something tells me it will last alot longer than the other kits, the only draw back is reinstalling it on a new hood, i hear some people have problems with the fiberglass hoods
