Default Hood struts...post pics, i need recommendations

I have been looking at hood struts the last week and need to pick up a set before Carlisle.

I am considering these because they are simple and look stock... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

also considering the redline struts from cjponyparts ... http://www.cjponyparts.com/product.a...cd2=1272387830

what, if any, are you all using? pics would be great

I've got the redline tuning set, been fine since day one, really like them.

Sorry, no pics on the computer I'm on.

Used to have the Redline on my 04, but the 1 thing I don't like about them is that they require you to rivet them.

I have since switched to the MRT's. Had them on my 05 and now on my 10.

MRK's bolt right in (no drilling)....Redline's require drilling & a rivet!
