yours are blown like mine eh. Just do what i did and get a fiberglass SS hood. So light compared to stock the hood stays up now! he he gotta love fiberglass
these ones for instance http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hood-...Q5fAccessories
20bux, a lot cheaper than driving to the junk yard, buying a used POS strut that "might" work and the aggravation of screwing with it and still not being able to make it work, throwing it away, going back the yard, ect, ect, then buying new ones.
im sure these 20 dollar ones are crap, i personally would buy a nicer set, you usually get what you pay for.
i have Stabilus hood and hatch struts. they were about $20 a piece when i replaced them a few years ago. great quality, still like new. worth every penny.

Same here...
Mine have lasted 2 years... I took em off the car a couple of weeks ago when the 'glass hood went on.
thanks for your reply guys, but thing is that i cant get those struts where i live, camaro is very rare here and their parts as well, i heard some ford cars struts can fit them directly without any alterations. any ideas...
Im sure it's cheaper to order the struts from overseas somehow than it is to buy a fiberglass hood. But that would definitely fix it. In fact if you ever intend to get a fiberglass hood, keep your old struts around.
