wow, i'm so glad that i did it. now i have auto trunk open on my alarm, haha. if you get the rockauto one, make sure you screw in the ball thing into the trunk first, then click the strut into the ball thing

the sachs part number i used was the 9001, that one is designed for a trunk with wing, and 9002 is for without the wing.
either way make sure you do both side, people say they got away with one, but might as well do both sides while the back piece is off.
also i'd like to add that i called my local parts store here in portland oregon, and they has the sachs one in their werehouse and i purchased same day for 44 bucks, instead of 17.13 + 17.13 + 6.XX so i would have saved myself only 5 bucks, but i got it done in one day instead of waiting for it.

SACHS PART # SG49001 - w/ spoiler
SACHS PART # SG49002 - w/o spoiler
ACDELCO PART # 510128 - w/o spoiler
ACDELCO PART # 510129 - w/ spoiler
I personally bought the 510129 even though Im spoilerless at the moment. They probably blow out faster since the o-rings are under a greater load, but they have worked great so far. I think both the sachs and acdelco are about the same quality from what ive heard.
