Default Is it worth the time?

I am considering getting some of the hood struts to replace my prop rod. Are they worth the trouble and are they a direct bolt-on. I am not crazy about drilling holes in my 2006. Who makes some good hood struts? Thanks!!

MRT makes a great hood strut kit that had no drilling. I have it, it was cheap and it's cool and it's easy to install. I bought mine from v6mustangstuff.com but you may want to check for better prices.

It's very easy. A trained monkey can do it. For example, I am a trained monkey and I did it.

YES! They're awesome and easy to install. They kick soo much *** over the stupid prop rod.

Hijacks rock.

Heheheee, I'm so glad I don't work for a big company and have to deal with all that. Hell I so rarely even work on a computer or server or anything related anymore it's hard to even still consider myself a tech still. LOL

I've never played around with oracle. Is it nice?

I work for a pension fund, I am a state employee. Oracle is definately different. Java driven, the Scripted Query Language reminds me a little bit of the MySql server that I run here @ the house. I hate java with a passion, it has way too much overhead.
