For those of us with aftermarket hoods are there any good durable hood struts that are direct bolt in? I did a search and see that the redline units are strong enough to hold the aftermarket hoods weight but they require drilling and riveting. I am just trying to find out if that is my only option as I dont not have a rivet gun at the moment.

NXT is the easiest IMHO and looks the best.

Hmm. I love my redlines. But those are excellent as well.

i have the redlines, but i put these on my dads Mustang and it was really easy install, bolt on, and cheap.

i have a cervinces hood and used cervinis hood struts but they made my hood buckle up so i returned them, which really sucks.

I have the stainless steel Redlinetuning struts. I really like them. Easy install. Rivet guns are pretty cheap.
