Just did this today. Picked up both props for $10. We chose to drill with a 3/8 and use a nut on the backside since the hinge is so thin. Works perfectly, thanks for the DIY.

yeah i just did this to my car on saterday i got the props for 6 bucks at a junkyard took maybe 15 mintues to install. love it. already shocked a couple people. sadly i have no pictures i will soon.
Anybody do this to their trunk? I have a 91 for my daughter, and someone took the springs to make room for 6x9's. If not I will try to do a DIY when I do it. I'm not messing with putting j/y springs back in there. Kind of a pain
I got a pair of hood shocks from an Acura Legend the other day, with brackets. I played around with positioning them for nearly an hour and found no way that I could possibly make them fit without having them hit the closed hood.

this is probably what I'm going to do. I already know where I'll mount the shock, and ideally, I'll hook an alarm solenoid up to my trunk release cable so I can remotely open my trunk. The gas shocks seem to really put out a lot of thrust, so I guess I'm a little weary to use them on my poor trunk latch. But, we'll see.
Maybe I'll do it this weekend if we finish painting my new trunk lid.
