carquest sells them new. No echecks or anything.. you just get them in person or have them special ordered. About $23 each.

Carquest...that cheap? I'm guessing thats for damn remanned ones cuz carquest = huge rip offs IMO...GABRIEL strut mounts (freakin autozone ****) for almost double the price of AZ..

I did the vice grip trick for 2 years, I earned the priviledge of having hood struts.
