Hood struts for Terminator

[VenomousDSG]

What are the best to get, MRT? And where can i get them the cheapest?

If anyone is selling some or have some on their ride but are looking to get rid of it soon, let me know also. Thanks!

I read a couple of threads stating some people had problems removing their old factory struts and in the process they were breaking the fiberglass but I have no experience, just what I have read.

 

[VenomousDSG]

Huh? They don't come with any struts from the factory...

i have the redline tuning quicklift hood struts and i love them. no problem with the install but they do require drilling. the benefit to the MRT struts is they use the factory holes so no drilling required. whichever you choose they are a definite upgrade from the prop rod.

Thanks Tony, you have any pictures of your struts installed? Would like to see how they look compared to the MRT ones.

Here are my MRT struts. Just installed them last week. I hit the brackets with a silver metallic rattle can as well. I like them a lot.

I have the redline tuning ones and like them. The MRT are nice though since you dont have to drill any holes and whatnot.

I have had the MRT ones on two of my Cobras, They are a nice piece!

I got the cheapest option from redline. Love them, my only issue is that I should have painted the brackets black before install. You can pay more and get them pre-painted but wanted to be cheap lol. the only issue I've seen with the mrt's is if you're not careful removing your factory hinge nuts sometimes the stud from the hood will snap or spin inside the hood itself.

I have NXT that I painted Mystichrome to match. I have the NXT on both the Shelby and the Terminator. No drilling, works great - last a long time.

MRT here, they work great.

The Redline struts are great.

I had the ones American muscle sells they're like MMD brand (basically MRT) on my old car. I liked them but I was scared to death the whole time removing my hood stud bolts. As much as I like them there is no way I'm going to risk doing that again on my new cobra.

Redline all day. Great customer service too. One of my 4-5 year old struts had a ball clip that would pop off once in a while. I emailed them about it, and 5 days later 4 new ends showed up at my house, no charge. I also have to lol about the guys that don't want to drill holes, but will weld subframes in, swap to sra's, etc.

exactly. a few small holes in the hood is nothing compared to what a lot of people do, including myself. Maybe that's why I had no problem drilling. I'd much rather put a few holes in the hood then have the risk of a hood stud breaking loose in the hood.

Yes that is me. Me and several of my friends have these on our cars. No drilling. If you don't want to buy them off of Ebay you can always purchase them from direct. Just deduct 9% for the Ebay fees. I don't run them anymore because i cut out the whole bottom side of my hood.

Very happy with my MRT's!
