I guess you are talking about hood struts? Anyway I have the MRT struts and they don't require any drilling and are nice units.

Does the Saleen use an aluminum or fiberglass hood? I've read of problems using hood struts on the latter.

Too bad you don't want to drill... the Redline Tuning ones are nice.

SHR sells some that don't require drilling for $99. Not sure who the manufacturer is.
