Eliminates the Hood Prop and supports the hood when open from both sides.

Wondering what everyone thinks, worth installing!
I got those exact ones and I LOVE them!

It raises the hood slightly higher than the stock stand holds it. It was fairly easy to install.

Definitely makes the engine bay seem more clean and eye catching

I have some generic ones from an early group buy, but they work fine. If I were to do it again, I'd go with the Grimmspeed units.

I recommend hood struts 110%, even if they're generic. Get rid of that damn hood prop that just gets in the way of everything..
