Looks good....I have been thinking of installing some. However, as a technician who has been hit numerous times by falling hoods. I would rather have a prop. My experience has been these things are one of the items most customers will not fix. They never lift the hood so they aren't going to pay $75 to get these replaced. The worst are the ones you think are going to keep the hood up and 10 minutes later WHAM! the hood drops. Either way, looks good.

I had a 91 tbird that I used to own (and work on all the time) The hood struts went dead about a week after i bought it. I never replaced them, I just used the handle off an onld broken shovel to hold it up.
