What are you talking about tearing the shock apart? You just take it off of the hood and have a plater plate it. I had mine done, only reason they failed is because i put them in upside down and i guess eventually the stress on the opposite side of them made them fail.

Just have some stock ones chromed.. my shop did mine that way.. you dont even have to take them apart since they are sealed to keep the gas in they also keep the chemicals out. See my site for pics of them chormed..

They said they do it all the time with hood struts and harley shocks
