I recently bought their hood for my 03' Marauder. Does anyone know which gas strut to go with?
The guys at Class Glass told me not to go with the original gas struts as they are too strong and will buckle the back of the hood.
Thanks

Go with a strut that is less powerful!Originally Posted by 1 Bad Merc
So they sold you the hood with no recommendations for a strut?

maybe some off a mustang would work?

I been thinking about getting one of these for a while now but I dont want to install a hood prop or loose my hood light.
What was the shipping costs for the hood?

Thanks guys....to answer a couple of questions the gentleman I talked to at Class Glass did not remember the exact gas struts to use so I want to be sure which one's I need. They were the one's to warn me about possible damage to the hood by using standard Marauder gas struts which I do really appreciate.
The shipping costs were not cheap (roughly $125-to Chicago) but I saved $90 by having it delivered to a business instead of residential. I am going to work on installing my hood light onto this hood. I am sure it can be done.
Thanks Haggis -look forward to the part numbers for these struts.

^^^ Yeah that's the number, Brand is Strong Arm. You can use hood pins if you want but I haven't installed any nor plan to, I've had the car up to 135+ and hood was solid. The new hood shocks are just enough to keep the hood up without torquing it.

that looks sick.
have any of you guys seen a mach 1 with an inch intake spacer?
i meet a guy at the track with one, he said his buddy in jacksonville can make them, he also said it gave him an extra 20rwhp when he dyno tuned the car.
i wanted one but found out the hood will not clear, but now this gives me hopes
