    Can you post a top and side view photos? See the pictures below showing the approximate location of the stowed struts (in yellow).

    If the Spiker set up doesn't take up anymore space then the Redline kit it'll be fine.

    Thanks for the reply. I was just curious how the struts were spec'd out since I have had cheaper ones that really struggle in the cold. It seems like here I have to open the hood a lot more when it's cold out than in the summer. -30F was a bit of hyperbole but not unprecedented. I will have to give these a shot.

    Yes, the second batch of struts went out today, so will be arriving to folks sometime this week (barring USPS delays here and there).

    For those of you who ordered after ~noon on12/31, and didn't yet receive shipping notifications, your strut kits will ship out this Friday :thumbsup:

    If you really plan to open your hood mostly in cold weather, let me know before ordering, and I can put together a slightly higher force kit for you. Just beware that it may be a little hard to close in warmer temperatures.

    Yes indeed, all remaining orders have been fulfilled and shipped out, one day early :D. Enjoy!

    I got mine. I was going to put them on last night when I got home, but when I opened the tube and looked at the instructions it struck me as more of a weekend job. Fortunately we have one of those coming up.

    Smart move - it's a fairly quick project (30-60 minutes even with a beverage break), but no sense rushing it. You can't undrill drilled holes.
