Doing my own diy hood lift strut

MY1STZ · 09-21-2010, 11:15 PM

Hello All, Let me 1st address the hood mis-alignment.

There is only 1 cheap hood prop which is on the Driver's side so the majority of the weight of the hood is sagging on the Passenger's side of the car.
Has anyone measured the gap between the hood and the bumper at the passenger side and the driver's side of their car?

I made my own bracket also used a different style of strut and I don't have any issues hitting any of the covers. I have done this with other cars that I've owned. I will post the pics when I'm all done with it.
