That's as much as a new strut!

I can understand that if you work on a lot of other people's cars though

^Exactly. I may have good hood struts on my e30's, but some of my customers don't.

Put a new OE one on last summer. That baby keeps the hood up even on an incline. It even says E30 on it!

I just disconnected my hood shock and linkage. I like the hood vertical.

It would also be nice it you are at a car show and have your hood popped on a breezy day.
