Surprising (well, to me...). The only car I ever knew that had a lot of aluminum in the body was the older Mercedes. (not that I'm a walking encyclopedia of car knowledge...after all, I couldn't even think of what a hood damper was called...)

Here's mine. Works perfect. Had a set on my 350 for years. I'm going to be changing out the mounting bracket that you see in the lower pic tomorrow to a simplier cleaner design.

Ahh, I see...

I thought you were talking about the AM car dampers...my bad. I see the one you sent the link for is only $89 (out of stock ATM). I'll see if I can find the other info out and compare.

Good to know a lot of you guys are using the hood struts without issues! The prop-rod is very annoying.
