Hood Struts...Post up what you have

Lampoon · 05-23-2008, 05:53 PM

Ok....looked around and didnt want to drill.
CDC...UPR....MRT,,,, beats me. I just didnt want issues with my hood's integrity cause I have a shaker.

Well I found these for $89.95. They look very nice and the quality looks outstanding. All parts are labelled either driver or passenger side.

They are NXT's.... New guy on the block-

Here is a shot installed on a Mustang:

You can buy them here
Cal Pony

or this place has them...Will post better link when I get it...:

I bought mine from here:
05-08 HOOD LIFT KIT MUSTANG

But they just raised their price to $97.95 about 3 days ago.

The other two sites still have them for $89.95.

I received mine and primered them. Sprayed them with Screaming Yellow and cleared them this afternoon. Im happy with how they came out.

now for the install....!

Install scheduled for this weekend.

Agent Jones · 05-23-2008, 06:04 PM

nice i have wanted to do that. but there is nothing under my hood worth having it open for lol

I will eventually get around to doing this. I was planning on getting the MRT set because of the whole Scott Hoag-Bullitt thing.

I have the Redline Quicklift Elite. These are rivet on. Have had no problems with them.

Redline Tuning hood QuickLIFT systems - lifts and holds your hood without the stock prop rod. Hood strut, damper, support - Automotive niche products.

Have had these on my MACH (it has a shaker) for 4 yrs no issues and took me 30 min to install um.

Got them on today!

drewskie68 · 05-28-2008, 02:10 AM

looks real good, did you have to do any drilling or anything???

Lampoon · 05-28-2008, 04:59 AM

Nope. Perfect fit. They bolt right on. Easy cheesy.

Those look great, I may swap mine out since yours have more of a factory look.
