Thoroughly pleased with my grimmspeeds.

Grimmspeed. Period. No twisting brackets, full length support on hood brackets. Easy install. Work great.

Thanks. Those are the ones I was leaning too. Simple install?

10-15 minutes, super easy. It would help to have an extra set of hands to hold the hood in place, but I did it by myself just fine.

Less than 30 minutes if you're mechanically inclined. I believe they have instructions online. http://www.grimmspeed.com/hood-struts-brz-fr-s/

I picked up some from @fteightysix when they had their slam deal a few months back. They aren't as pretty as the grimmspeed ones, but they work well. Check my build thread for pics.

I ended up with the same ones from @fteightysix after another set (from a vendor I won't name) failed. The ones from fteightysix have been rock solid for months now. Very happy me

Thanks for the comments. Ordered the grimmspeed ones.
