This DIY setup will do the job for those who want to try it and it is a VERY satisfying project that those who have done it are rightfully proud.
The illistrated instructions and parts list is located on the PT Cruiser DIY web site at:

I just want to make sure that people realize that this DIY design is a very different design than mine and it will not perform the same as mine. It uses different size and quality gas springs, has a different geometry, will not work on aftermarket hoods whithout drilling the hood and can require some fairly fussy adjusments to fit correctly.
Also, I just checked today's US\Canada exchange rate and the actual cost of my standard Hood Lift Kit, delivered to your door in Canada by Global Priority Mail is $180.01 Can total, not $210.00 Can. My many Canadian customers can confirm this amount is the complete and total delivered cost. I just wanted to make sure the facts are straight.
Thanks, Blane

you also have to account on the fact we get hit with GST tax on $180.01 is about $12.60, Duty and depending on how it is shipped a broker fee as high as $35.00 I took all of this in account for my total of $210.00 and i am sure i am not far out ...
