Installing it with the gas tank and Russ T. drop trunk in place is it's own challenge. I opted for a right side install, so I could fit my hand through the fuel pump access panel to install the washer and cotter pin. Did I mention I'm glad I made the trunk panels removable? I think this is the second or third time I've needed access.
I purchased and installed the Breeze trunk prop rod. Then I saw the gas strut kit from FFR is only $50 so I bought and installed it. I really like the gas struts, open the trunk and it just stays up instead of hitting me in the head. I still have the prop rod installed as a backup, after going through what it takes to install it I have no plans of taking it out lol
