you can get hood dampers from vision instead of tein since they manufacture it for them.

Default

i pulled a set of hatch struts from a passat wagon at the junkyard for $15. i only used one and it holds the hood fine. at each end of the strut i used the ball joints that were on the passat. for one end i just replaced the middle bolt on the top of the fender with the ball joint, and the other end i had to make a simple little bracket to hold the other end near where the hood hinge bolts to the hood.
i'll post up a DIY with pics as soon as i can get them onto my computer
