Just installed the hood struts from RedLine tuning. Not too bad. It was pretty easy to install except for the fact I lost one of the rivets so I had to find a replacement. I also didn't double check one of the top hood brackets before I drilled so it's not 100% flush but it's hard to tell.

Overall it was a piece of cake to install and a good product. I have pics and I'll post them in a bit.

This little camera is amazing. I didn't realize it was THIS clear. Just got it 2 days ago.

Here's how high you have to raise it before the struts take over and raise it the rest of the way.

wow, those are sweet!!! If you dont mind me asking, where did you get them from and how much did they cost you? :nice:

There is a group purchase going on right now, do a search. I dont know when it ends.

*EDIT* here i will save you the search (only because you are in S. Korea with me) and the going rate right now is $47 + S&H.
