Default Hood Shocks

Does anyone have the hood shocks from autobadges.com or anywhere else? Does the install require any drilling?

The redline hood struts require drilling and are riveted on. The CDC and MRT ones just bolt right on using existing holes.

I just installed the CDC hood shocks today.
Took about 15 minutes. No drilling. They work great.
Got them from brenspeed.com

I love the MRTs shocks.
They're easy to install, no drilling uses the stock bolts on the hood hinge, and they kick the hood way up.

Yep the MRT/CDC Hood Struts rock. Be advised the standard Stainless one look like crap so go with the black powder coated ones. They actually looked so bad i sent mine out to be chromed.

Here's mine.

I love these CDC struts....20 minute install, no drilling, and a gain of 3 or 4 inches of hood opening.....What a great mod!!

I think this is going to be my next mod... I just wish I could get them a little cheaper. 100$ seems a bit steep for these.

I have the stainless steel ones from RedlineTuning. Mounting them required drilling, but it was a piece of cake.
