My moms 2003 Acura TL had weak Hood Lifts and we had to use a stick to prop the hood open. Http://acurapartswarehouse.com Luckily I just changed the hood lifts on my Lexus Gs and I knew the job would be really easy. The part # you have to get from your dealer or online is 74145-S0K-A02. https://www.acurapartswarehouse.com
The removal is pretty simple, just grab a flat head to pry off the two clips on each strut. Installation is even easier, because all you have to do is simply pop the hood lift onto the steal knuckles. That’s it! Enjoy.
