Grimmspeed Hood Struts
I picked these up during the GS black friday/cyber monday sale, and installed today. Pre-assembled inside, referencing the online pdf, which either has the pictures out of order, or my browser/version of Adobe was jacking it up, but none the less, it's easy, and fairly obvious.
More bolts were included than expected, you can replace and not reuse any of the OEM bolts, nice touch. Everything fit as expected, and they function great. A solo install could be done, but an extra set of hands does help. Since I work as a design engineer, I typically find things I'd do different, but I can't really say I'd change anything on this design, other than try to cut some weight from the upper hood brackets, but that's just me...I do race cars, weight is evil, LOL. Nice job @GrimmSpeed |

Ditto. Installed mine yesterday and I couldn't have said it better myself!
