What I really like about the MRT's and these is that there is no drilling/riveting, breaking the paint, ect
Stanman post back if you get them.

Prof,
I just got a pair from CDC which are exactly the same as MRT's. They attach using the existing fender bolts and hood bolts. I have yet to install mine but the hardest thing I see is aligning the hood correctly after installing them. I personally do not like the large size of the cylinders on the e-bay ones but to each his own.

Get the ones from Redline!!!
I installed them and have no problems with alignment or function...
They come in black for $59.95 or stainless steel for $109.95...

I have the Redlines...
I LOVE them... and the installation really wasn't all that hard, although you do have to drill some tiny holes.
In my case.. I installed them backward.. I wanted them out of the way for side entry into the engine compartment. I noticed other cars at the car show did exactly the same thing.
You can see an example in this pic.
