Pros

An easy install on 2013 rx350, good fit, and very very smooth operation. Ordered these for a 2011 lexus rx350 and it works just like the original one on my 2013 rx 350. These hood struts fit perfectly on a 2015 rx450h hood. They fit '11rx 350 perfectl...  Read More

Directions are clear and concise. Done in 10 minutes & save hundreds of $$$$. Under 5 minutes to install and pre-lubed as well.

Found these on amazon. Great alternative to overpriced oem product. One-fourth of cost of original equipment. Just like the oem cylinders in every way except they are significantly cheaper.

Great price. Very pleased. Arrived as promised. Hood now stands *.

The price and the sturdiness appears to be sufficient. Seem to be well made and sturdy. Good price, decent reviews.

Price


Replacing the hood lift myself on my lexus rx350 saved a lot of $.


So far a great value, will see how long they do their job.

I paid about $25 for two on amazon and they're an exact duplicate of the ones that were no longer functional.

Shipping


The seller was very responsive when asked to follow up on a minor shipping snafu.

Competitiveness


Given the cost for this 2-pak of replacement supports (less than $25 with tax in my case), i cannot imagine why you would buy o...  Read More


Even if it lasts less than oem (which i doubt), i would have to replace them 20 times before i spent as much as the dealer woul...  Read More

    You will need a small flathead screwdriver to get the clip out at the bottom of each of the old struts

    Tip 1 use a small flat jewelers screwdriver to pry the 34c34 clip loose and the the old lift will pop right off
