    Looking for a set of hood struts that don't require drilling/tapping to install.

    I’ve done all mine with Spiker struts, you need to drill but it’s hardly difficult and takes about 30 min. Highly suggested

    Installed Redline Tuning Hood QuickLIFT ELITE System five years ago and still going strong. Requires drilling but worth it IMO.

    Skokietech for the win. Mine were easy to install and have worked flawless. No drilling!

    Going with Sokietech! Quick research on YouTube convinced me. Thank Wayne0, and thanks to everyone for your help. Cheers!
