Seen these before from Tein
Image Just wondering if it would be alright to use them on a Carbon Fibre Hood? I figure it would offer support from both sides, which would be better then using the O.E hood prop. Also isn't there another company that makes these as well?

I've seen others too. They work just like hatch or trunk hydraulics.
