Dig-It said:I put MRT's hood struts on mine. Incredibly easy installation and will hold the hood up in the wind.

Sure. The hood struts are MRT and I bought them straight from the company and paid an extra $50 to have the brackets custom painted by them. Here is the link.

I was originally thinking about getting redline hood struts, but with those you need to use pop-rivets and probably drill into car. The MRT hood struts do not require any drilling so you can easily take them off at a later date.
They look great and I might order them. Curious about the wind though. We were at MPH Friday and it was blowing probably 30-40 MPH. I faced my car away from the wind to open the hood to pull my grille. The "stick" kept it propped up. My buddy in his C6 Z06 got thumped on the head when his struts "failed" due to the high winds. I guess you could always "double down" with the stick in a high wind condition.Dig-It said:I put MRT's hood struts on mine. Incredibly easy installation and will hold the hood up in the wind.
You had to pull your grill? ???cloud9 said:I faced my car away from the wind to open the hood to pull my grille. The "stick" kept it propped up.
I chose to. CHTs were 251 and it was 80 F. Probably get a bar type grille for the track this winter.5 DOT 0 said:You had to pull your grill? ???cloud9 said:I faced my car away from the wind to open the hood to pull my grille. The "stick" kept it propped up.
