I was going to go after some lightweight springs for the fiberglass hood on my car, but read posts about people who had tried various ones and the hood bowed up etc. So I went springless, and made a little prop rod from a metal tent stake (I bought a pack at the 99 cent store). The rod holds the hood up no problem.
