he really should have primed the bare metal before bolting on but ...

Those look cool I been htinking of adapting some struts from another car to do the same thing... IMO a strut is a strut when all it has to do is hold up a slab of sheet metal. They usually go ~$30-$50 bucks locally or ebay for a new set

Or struts from a hatchback Hyundai such as Elantra or Accent. I think I'm gonna do me some junkyard pickin'....!

I asked about the hood struts at dreamka4u, but they haven't posted an answer yet.. if you go to the dreamka4u.com website and then go to the Q&A you'll see my thread and the answer if they post one.

I kinda like that grille with the chrome accents... I like the mod altogether, I would do it for the trunk too is I ever had to remove the bars in the trunk.

yeah thats something i wouldn't mind having either. maybe they are from the xg's i think they have them not sure gotta check my mom's.

[Doohickie]

I tell ya, I think they're just rear hatchback spring dampers.

[mlumz]

For the trunk, I would recommend looking at the VW trunk struts since they are chrome and might give a nicer look to the trunk.

[menallychllngd]

they prolly are doohickie. for some reason though i think the xg's have them though.

Previous generation Sonata had trunk struts. Santa Fe has them on both the rear window and rear liftgate (they can open seperate). So there's quite a few options out there.

Agreed, it's nothing super special, although having Hyundai ones would be cool I guess.

There is no point in looking for part numbers when you can get a generic pair, probably from any auto parts store. They will be much cheaper, and sometimes much nicer.
