Applicable to: '90 - '97 '99 + 1.6 liter 1.8 liter
These are dual pneumatic hood lifts/supports to go in place of the OEM prop rod.
After about 6 mo of use, my experience has been very good. I had a single hood support that wore out after a couple years of use. The RSpeed product is much nicer and works a little differently. Instead of attaching to the firewall and hood "body" like the single lifts work, the dual lifts attach to the hood hinge and in place of one of the bolts in the rain channel at the top of each front fender. The lifts are also much stronger. Get about 2/3 the way up and the hood lifts itself. Much more stable than the single support. Two thumbs up.

Dual hood lifts which replaces the stock hood prop rod.
My experience with this product is very good. This was a gift from my wife on X-mas. The install took about 30 minutes. Most of that time was making sure we had the holes lined up evenly for drilling purposes, and drilling through. The parts came in chrome and I believe the directions were straightforward.
I would probably recommend this product over the single units that are being sold because I feel the dual kit gives the hood more stability when up. Its very easy to open and close as well. One of the better things I have put on my car.
