I knew you'd come in with that technical stuff! Is your car a purpose-built race car for everyday use? Why not get an FR-S if you want to save on weight? Hood struts are negligible compared to the handicapped "performance" of 18" wheels that are wider. Get 16" wheels if you want to save on weight. Carbon fiber EVERYTHING!!!!!!
Choosing the hood prop over the strut for a non-track-spec car... is... well... I respect you so much... but... I still can't agree to it! GAH!
