Nice looking car!

What I find interesting is that GM took away our second hood strut (04 Grand Prixs, maybe 05s, had two) yet the LaCrosse Super has two.

(not sure if the Monte Carlos and Impalas had two)

EDIT: From Super LaX's LaCrosse Super:

Ya, that's something weird I've noticed. The spot is there for the passenger side strut too. I think the 01-05 Montes had them.

I always thought it had to do with space issues due to the V8. I guess not.

Yeah, the connections are there. But on the GXP at least, there needs to be some welding on the hood for a bracket.

This is getting so lol.
