Default Struts
Finally installed my hood struts. They work great. No more messing with that prop rod to keep it open. Just opens itself.

All it took was 30-40 minutes.

Got them from Redline.

Would it cause "hood bulge" like on GM full/mid sized cars in the '70s?

No bulges or outer indication that they are there.

The best part is open the hood and it pushes itself open.
