So are you saying that with Adam's kit you don't need to drill holes?  I saw his recent eBay ad and was tempted to bid, but I wanted to see what others had to say about them, vs. the others.

Thanks.

Adam Varney sells these. I just got a set, and they reuse the OEM hood
struts, unlike Jeff Noel's kit that requires you to buy new ones at a
parts
place. Adam's price is a little high, but they seem to be worth it. @ $40
it
is still better than paying $30 for jeff's kit, drilling holes in your
car,
and then paying 20 a strut for different sized hood struts. His email is
ACV1081@aol.com, and he constantly sells stuff on ebay, and he ships
really
fast.

Tell him I sent ya
