Default Hood Supports
Yesterday I installed a set of Tein bonnet supports. I like them and the install was pretty strait forward, but is there a trick to removing the OEM hood support? I don't want to break anything.

I just left mine on, but you should be able to twist and wiggle the prop-rod out of its hole. Just go slow and watch exactly what you're doing.

Yeah you can just wiggle and twist it a bit, and it'll come out from the hole...

The pics I have seen seem to locate the prop rod on the right side of the car. Is there a hole that I am missing on the body?
