Save money and replace these yourself
I purchased these to replace the worn-out hood lift struts on my 2006 Accord. They were surprisingly easy to install and a perfect fit for this application. Note the orientation of the mounting bracket where it bolts to the hood before removing it. Then support the hood with something (I used a broom stick), remove two bolts attaching the strut to the hood, use a flat screwdriver to release the clip on the ball joint, and pull. When installing the new struts I bolted the top end to the hood first, then pressed the ball joint together on the bottom end. The Honda dealer wanted to charge almost $200 for this 10-minute job -- ridiculous!

Not An Exact Duplicate, But It Works
Product fits exactly, which is good. However, this is REVERSED from original. Original lifts had the cylinder mounted on the car with the piston attached to the hood. These have the piston attached to the car and the cylinder attached to the hood. All seems to work fine, however.
