I just replaced my hood struts. I was tired of playing Russian roulette w/ my hood. I bought a pair of StrongArm hood struts.
Install is easy, all you need is a 12mm wrench. I would post a how to but there's not much to it.

With the new hood shocks install the top / bottom ball ends and washers first and then pop the shock on. Piece of cake!
I don't have much to compare them too since my stock shocks were toast but these things lift the hood up so well I thought they were going to rip the lower ball ends out of the GX and send my hood flying through the ceiling.
