Installed a hood strut kit from kellyefields on this board (
Hood Dampners/ hold up thingies). The price is good and the install is dead easy, took about 15 minutes to sort everything out.
Aside from getting the factory hood holdup bar out of the way, the struts hold the hood open higher than before as well. Should make most projects easier (although I guess it will make any project that requires removing the plastic they mount through harder).
