LOL...Yeah it was not my first mod but 4 months after buying my car I was sick of the prop rod and installed the struts. Great mod for sure.

Are they easy to attach? I plan on getting them, but, what all is involved with the change over? Please advise....

Where did you guys get yours from ~ Rock Auto???

I understand! I hadn't had mine long either, and yep should have done it a LONG time ago!

Jim, I'm almost sure I got mine at rock auto and I think they weren't but around 10 or 11 bucks each.. I think!

do you have a part number from that place? they have several listed.

I just got a pair of hood struts - can someone tell me where they attach? I saw the one pivot bolt on the hood - but where do the other pivot bolts attach?

You have to buy the lower mount unless your car came with the hood props to start with. I got mine through the dealership and they weren't to bad at all from what I remember.

That link was perfect! Thanks!!!!

Wow - just that quick - they are installed! awesome!
Thanks again Papawana!!!! and Dodgefan and Igolo.

glad to help out!

That was the first mod on my car, still haven't pulled the prop rod off, but one day I will.

yeah - was looking at that old prop rod now - its riveted in - might get drilled out today. amazing how much more open the engine bay looks without that prop rod in the way.
