dont do it. it'll tempt you to put something shiny and round under the hood.

well half pressure are the ones that open it about as much as a hood prop, full pressure open the hood vertically. i have some full pressure ones i'm prolly gonna get rid of. still no job so i have to part the car out.

That is actually not true... I have the half pressure model on my car. It will open completely.

The difference is that the half-pressure types will "hold" the hood half open. They still extend the full distance but are intended to be used with lighter, composite hoods. That is how you can balance a OEM hood half open. The full pressure models will fully extend the hood from the just popped open position with only a little nudge.

For what it is worth, I chose the half pressure model because it seemed to me to be a weeeee bit too difficult to close the full pressure versions. I feared bending something trying to close the hood.
