$65 shipped. Came from Taiwan. Guy on ebay has great feedback about them. They don't need drilling and riveting. They use the hood hinge and a ball replaces a fender bolt. I'll post pics nice installed.

nice! Definitely want to see how that works out
Installed them today despite the fact that we had rain. It stopped for a lil bit so I jumped at the opportunity to install them.
Here is the hood bracket. It has a 4 way position slots so u can the best one for your car. This is the way it should sit so the shock gets tucked in and doesn't make the hold bulge up.
Fender side, please don't mind the filth.
Both sides

Plastic clip that holds the washer fluid hose in the fenders needs to be removed.
My impression about them: I've never used any hood shocks before so wasn't sure what to expect. U know they aren't top of the line but they r good. Open the hood and lift it up a lil bit and it will slowly finish on its own. I know the redline lifts up completely on its own so much have stronger shocks.
Overall I'm satisfied with them.

Where did you put your battery?
I've relocated it to the trunk few years back.

He means straight up with no angle. It will have to be spaced, my dumbass

Yes.. both talking about a 90° hood
By the looks of the picture it is not.
Easy fix. Finding the stopping point of the strut, (on the chrome part) mark, extend where your want, mark, then measure. Lets say its 4" from each mark (on the chrome part of the strut)
Measure 4" from original quarter panel bolt towards the windshield. Drill hole and score it. You have to feel for the right pressure you want to get the hood spot you want
Struts dont have the same strain when at an up-right position but like (oak) said put a stopper or you will have to replace a windshield cuz strut will push it pass the 90° angle

yea definetly don't want to replace a windshield but I thought it might be possible.
My volvo used to do that but the design of the hood didn't go high into the fender by the windshield so that allowed it to open vertically. I'm assuming Hondas are the same way as well. It was definitely nice to be able to open it that far to have more room to work with the hood not being in the way.
