Auto opening (raising) struts for trunk and frunk

[rincewind]

Hi all,

I could have sworn Abstract Ocean were doing these, but can't see them on their site now. Any suggestions as to where to buy (I'm in England).

EDIT: They are out of stock, more coming soon.

Several Amazon vendors

I've looked at those but the reviews are generally poor

This is THE guy on YouTube

and the package he links in his video is:

Let me know how it goes and what you end up doing as I want to make this mod if/when I ever get delivery.

Thanks - they don't ship to the UK though. Also, 27% of the reviews slate them. I think I'll wait for the Abstract Ocean ones to come back in stock.

Recently its been know that the struts will snap the trunk mounting points because of the high stress they put the joints under.

some people don't recommend these anymore. (I believe it takes a long time for it to happen though)

Use at your discretion

Some of the reviews were saying just that. I'm having second thoughts now...

Same here. I don't know, I think I'll just try to survive with a "normal" trunk/frunk and reassess after a couple months.
