worn out hood supports suck

[RaidoM]

not a troll :) i'm serious.
that metallic part of my car is f*cked and looks pretty hard to weld it back so i'm looking for alternative solutions. :)

why bump this up? its 4 pages on talking about hood shocks. seriously you must be a troll :p

Hey guys
has somebody made this kind of modification like new cars have: 2 shox on both sides and as soon as you pop up the hood it opens itself. My shox works well but the metallic part broke down. It looks pretty hard to weld it back and this thing looks more intresting.
just like here: 2 shox on both sides.
I have searched from google but no luck so far.

buy a fucking hood shock, theyre cheap a hell

[10Toes]

That's as much as a new strut!

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

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

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

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

What is the part number?

I got this couple weeks ago and done in 10 minutes:
