hey guys, when I bought my gs it didn't have the "pole" to hold up the hood so I have to stand there everytime i open the hood.

My question is, where can i get the pole or some hood shocks that will work? thanks guys.

 

the car comes with hood shocks, not a prop rod. If the hood doesn't stay open itself (it seems as though you have a carbon hood, in which case stock hood struts would not work) you need new hood struts. Carson sells them, sewell sells them. I don't exactly know what to do in your case since you have the carbon hood, i think i remember someone saying something about lower pressure struts since the hood is lighter talk to one of the guys at carson, they should be able to help you out. Though i will say, they won't be too cheap...

 

yeah, I mean worst case, I have a problem, i carry a trusty piece of 2x4 in my trunk

 

I would think you could get pick some up at autozone or a similar store for pretty cheap, both the prop and shocks.

 

classifieds have some

 

I think they are more commonly known as Hood Struts.

 

tein makes some good ones for people with aftermarket hoods.

 

he said he thought it was on there when he had it. i dont know, im going to try advanced auto

 

My gs 430 has cylinders that keep the hood open not some jank post that u flip up?

 

That is correct.

 

I really have no idea why I did that, hah.

What would you what for them?

 

we all do.
