Measure your stock hood prop, and go to autozone. They have them there. It's not one of a kind at all, but nice work, none the less.

Im sure it is one of a kind

There isnt any mounting locations for the hood damper/lift - you need custom brackets. Maybe you dont realize that for an 8th gen civic. Or maybe you like to drill a few holes on your precious car.

Ill buy one for you from autozone if you can find a bolt on

There are plenty of pre-existent holes in the underside of my hood that would work perfectly for a hood damper. As I said, nice work, but it's not one of a kind. If I wanted it done, I would have already done it, without custom brackets.

I couldn't agree more.
