06 WRX Hood Struts

How to make custom hood struts

Step 1: Buy material
Home Depot Aluminum Angle 1.5" Thick 

Another shot
Napa Ball Studs
Autozone gas shocks and part number
Gas shock you will need
Step 2: Cut and drill
The large piece you see in the picture will go on the hood where two bolts hold the hood to the hinges.
The smaller piece will be bolted to the fender.
You will need 2x for both pieces if you are doing both sides. 

Both pieces 

Checking fitment on the small bracket

Large piece checking fitment

Both Pieces painted
Ready to be installed, finished and painted
 Step 3: Install very easy to install, just bolt the large bracket to the hood and hinge holes, use the bolts already there. The small bracket, you bolt down to the front fender, there is a bolt already there for the fender. You can use the same bolt. Now clip in the gas shock and check for clearance.
