it's sweet, but remember, it's going to be like the ones on the trunks. Well i'm not sure how the trunks are set up on the 3Gs, but the 2G's trunk struts, after being old, don't stay open when it's cold outside. your hood may not stay open when it's cold outside

My suggestion.....

get them cause they're sweet, but keep the old stock prop installed, so when it's cold and you need the hood to stay open and it wont, you got some back up

LOL< I never open my hood when it's cold. And when it is cold, I take it in the garage and work on it or wash it.
