I went to my local Nissan dealer last week to get a price. I needed some new hydrolic stands for my hood, becuase mine do not hold up my hood very well. They told me that they are $78 EACH. I really don't want to spend that much on these stupid things, so I do not know what I am going to do about them.

Uhh, don't go to dealer, unless you have money to spare. Check with local auto stores(Pep Boys, AutoZone, etc.), they should carry it.
