    I don't see why it wouldn't work just as well on Aspires.

    • I put my Hood Struts in this Weekend, of course I forgot what was written and put them in upside down until Will corrected me.


      I think the next time I put them in I will go with lower power struts because the 2 45lb struts is a little too powerful.

      Here is a link to some 35lb Struts that I will use next time.

            He did already, I mentioned it to him on FB, as he noted above lol.

            I gotta say, I often forget I put these on. Then I walk out to do some underhood work, and it just pops open all on it's own.

            I'm left standing there grinning like an idiot, thinking Wow, this is so awesome. Why didn't I do this years ago?

              Yeah and with the 45lb struts it pops up quite quickly lol, I opened it for the first time without thinking about the struts and it surprised me.

              • I collected some more of the 6mm short ball studs last Monday. So if anyone needs 4 of them to
                install the struts, they are $8 shipped.

                      • I have no prop rod.
                        I am beginning to think that this was OEM.
                        I enjoy opening my hood with gas assist.
