Default I just noticed....

There's no pneumatic shocks for holding up the hood? I hate the stick thing!

Consider it to be one less thing to crap out on you. Pneumatic hood shocks tend to fail often in my experience.

I agree. I spent $89 x 3 for my two Nissans. I was major unhappy. The old prop worked just fine. Stick them on a Lexus I say, but leave them off value cars.

speaking of lexus and hood props. My GS4 doesn't even have a LIGHT under the hood

How cocky can Lexus be to think that the car would never need a light under the hood? As a matter of fact, my buddy's honda doesn't have one, nor the Z.

What gives? What ever happened to the shade tree mechanic? Now i have to work on the car with a flashlogh around my head

the best looking hood prop would be if it was a clam shell version. I love the look of calm sheel hoods. Must be the racer in me.
