Many thanks RB,don't know about fitment of ford performance struts, but jltperformance.com sells direct bolt on hood struts that they will paint to match car. I have bought a few color matched parts from them and they do a great job on paint and the struts are a great product.
Grey, I have the Redline Tuning hood struts for the GT 350 part #21-11030-02 (Quick Lift Plus model) and they work great. The mounting is simple and precise...at first it felt like the hood might be too light/fragile and could possible bend, so I removed them. However later I went and cycled them more and reinstalled, they are working great now...I've had very good luck with Redline Tuning hood struts in the past on several other cars and they are a nice addition. You'll need to round out the battery cover hole a bit larger than just the supplied drill bit size due the height of the strut mounting bracket under the batt cover, but easy! Also, I took a steak knife and did the optional cut so you can easily remove the batt cover w/o removing the hood strut. Good luck!!Saw the other thread in the general forum and as I feared, they are not the same. I'll use one of the gt350 specific kits.
Bingo, I have them and they work great. They are quite stiff at 1st so be sure and cycle them a bit before installation then cycle them again once installed. At first it felt as if my hood might bend (but not the case) so I hand cycle the hood up and 90% down for 10 minutes and they work very well now. I didn't want to have them painted (wanted them to blend in rather than stand out) and they come in a nice satin black. I removed the Red Line Racing stickers on the struts so they look OEM. Either way, over the years I've had 3 or 4 sets and never had an issue with them.don't know about fitment of ford performance struts, but jltperformance.com sells direct bolt on hood struts that they will paint to match car.

RedLine has an order site on eBay. ($99.00 free ship).I'm ready to order the Redline kit. It looks like it comes in "Plus" or "Elite," anyone know the difference?
Looks like the Plus is black and the Elite is silver.
This is the link I found, but they don't list our GT350, just GT so I'm assuming this is the right one..?

thanks but I already ordered the Redline kit a few days ago from CJPony partsRedLine has an order site on eBay. ($99.00 free ship).
Racer172, check out my response a few posts above as I've included the Red Line part # for the GT350. IIRC, I purchased the "Plus" as I liked the black better than the silver. Price diff was about $20 less for the "Plus" model...I'm ready to order the Redline kit. It looks like it comes in "Plus" or "Elite," anyone know the difference?

Hey if it worked for the 1971 Pinto, it'll work for everything...Just ordered the kit from CJPony
thnx
PS: any idea why Ford didn't include these on the car?
The Elite is specified as Stainless Steel housing (silver), which amounts for the difference in price.Racer172, check out my response a few posts above as I've included the Red Line part # for the GT350.
