Do any of our Vendor Members out there sell the gas strut kits for the front and rear trunks?

Anybody used this on their car with positive or negative results?

Any input will be very much appreciated.

+1, quality vendor.

If you are in Salem, I'd recommend making an appointment and driving to Lake Oswego to pick them up. The experience is worth it. Craig is a good guy and always has some cool cars in the camp.

I've spoken to Craig on the phone, seems like a very knowledgeable and nice guy. I'm afraid if I do go up there it will be like my wife at a Nordstrom sale!

I ordered and paid for my front and rear sets a year ago. Received them some times later but the rear set was MUCH to stiff for a lightweight hood. Still waiting to receive replacements despite several reminders...

I'm in the market for some to use on my car with FG lids...hmm, maybe I'll look for a supplier in Europe.

Where are you getting your FG lids from Ollie? European supplier? I'm tempted to get some too with gas struts.

I recently ordered a set (front & rear) and I was given the choice of light weight or standard. Also Craig has been very responsive to my questions via email

LOL Brother I so get that.

It's a suburb though.... There might be a way to work this. Maybe a nice dinner.....

Craig will work with you. I'm sure he can ship the extras.
