i've heard a company by the name of redline tuning, i think MRT has them aswell

Ahh i was gonna mention redline, i couldn't quite remember if thats what they were called or not.

 

[SaleenGT2001]

the redline ones need to be drilled and riveted in.

i found these on ebay. they are the same price as the redline ones but they have brackets and i dont have to drill anything

i used the redline ones. drilling and riveting wasnt a big deal. it was actually pretty easy. i took the "redline tuning" stickers off the struts so it looks more lie the way it should from the factory.

Wow! Seriously...I have the redlinetuning ones and they were REALLY EASY to put in! Took less than an hour...just buy a riveting gun...not expensive at all...and they are really easy to put on and fit great!

Someone with your knowledge of cars and handy skills will laugh at how easy this is!

MRT Hood Strut Kit

 

[SaleenGT2001]

i'm not concerned with the install. i just dont want to drill into my freshly painted hood

 

[eliteJAE]

my buddies got a set of those, they're pretty legit and look/feel well-consturcted

I've had the Redline Elites for at least 3 years. They work flawless. Either Redline or MRT would work great. The Elites have a 4 year guarantee.

The Redlines are nice...I have had mine on for 6 years...

 

[SaleenGT2001]

so what is our discount on AM??

not asking for the code. just the discount amount

 

[ErikTheBeast]

6% isnt it ?

 

[SaleenGT2001]

so the redlines will be less than $65 shipped.

anyone have pics of the mounting where the rivets are?

 

[BlownStangGT]

I fig. you arleady have decided what you wnat, but I have the MRT's and they are great!

 

[myponyrocks]

I had Redline, they were quality... But MRT is to Hood struts as MGW is to Shifters IMO


Besides, MRT you don't drill holes! Can't beat that.

 

[mustang50v8]

i will have to find my camera when i get home tonight to take pics for ya.

here are the directions if that helps at all

 

[myponyrocks]

Redlines, sorry no close up

If you look in the top left corner you can see two holes I had to drill on the fender for the Redlines, this pic is after the MRT intall (didn't trust the Redlines with my CF hood)

MRT I don't have a close up of these and it's pitch black at 6:30pm in England

Now just go buy a rivet gun from Sears...and make sure you have good drill bits...

It isn't hard to put on at all...Like I am sure you will, just take your time..
