My fiberglass hood is heavier than my stock hood and the hood struts won't keep the hood up. Any idea where I can get some heavy duty/stronger hood struts? I only have 1 post left this month so much thanks ahead of time.

steven will make anything you want. he just needs some measurements & weight of hood. i have used them on custom struts for my trunk lid w/ airtank.
