$190 for a simple strut support? Our 911 hood strut is how much? Maybe $20 if I remember right. A buddy got me the "high performance" hood strut. It costs around $40, and we already thought that was expensive.
Get a broom handle for $5 at Home Depot. At least that would be multi-use (hatch prop, broom handle, self defense, etc.).
