a two second search on ebay found this:

Those look like straight bolt-on's and the price reflects that. I'm sure you could find something cheaper that would work, just SEARCH ebay for "hood struts".

This is an older post. But Hot Rod magazine (or was it Car Craft?) had an article about adding support rods to the hood of a Mustang, and went through a long explanation of how to measure the pivot points to mount gas rods to lift the hood. Anyway, it does work (I tried it on a Pinto and a Honda).
