[WesS]

doesnt say it's for the gt350? sure this is the right unit that fits and no drilling?

If you watch the install video for the GT350R there is no drilling involved

I bought the MRT Hood struts mainly because of no drilling. I will be installing in the next month.

just FYI, These say they are for model years 79-93. They look nothing like the ones I have. The video in the link only goes to model year 2014.

So they show a 2001 Cobra in the video.

Below The video it says no drilling required for the GT350. I texted the owner, so I’ll wait until he responds to confirm.

I saw that as well and I can’t tell what car is in the pics. Seems sketchy to me

So there's two ways to mount the lower bracket in a GT (that should be applicable to GT350), there's a cutout in the inner fender, shown in by the red arrows, and note the other side that area is covered by the battery cover, so that's the ONLY drill/cut, just a small hole in that plastic cover about the size of a nickel:

The MRT struts use the exposed 10mm fastener at the end of the fender/hood channel (just after the weather seal), shown in the photo with blue arrows:

The MRT use an L-bracket, where most others: Redline, etc., use a sort of "toggle bolt" like lug and fastener in that cutout in the frame (which is covered on the passenger side and requires the minor battery cover hole/trim I mentioned above).

Assuming the GT350/R has that same 10mm fastener indicated by the second photo, then they will work, and won't require any other modifications (including the battery cover ...)

The owner of MRT texted me back and there are no holes/drilling required for the struts.

yeah confirmed, no drilling required. anyone know which is the best install video link? I don't think there's one specifically for GT350.

When I put on the Redlines to my 2016 GT350, the only thing you drilled was the plastic battery cover. When I traded for the GT350R, I removed the struts from the car and added to the R.

looking to get the MRT's today, trying to see if any cheaper than $100 anywhere. trying to find a coupon code...if anyone has a link.

No issues whatsoever with the redlines on my GT350.
