Hood Strut
Anyone wants to attempt a diy for hood strut? Here's a website to get some gas springs, ball joint, etc.
http://www.mcmaster.com/#gas-springs/=l5c3vb Hopefully, I get some free time and play around with this. The cost should be less than $50 for everything. |

^ that. Especially since having the brackets made will be the other $50 in price.

I meant brackets to mount to your hood and engine bay. I doubt an off the shelf part from mcmaster would work without some heavy hacking.
