Its absolutley piss easy to do.. I did it with my VL Calais turbo, as I put the LE spolier on the boot... Took about 10 mins....

ALl u need is the strut, 2 ball joints, 2 washers and 2 nuts. I drilled a hole through the right boot hinge, and put a ball joint there, and did the same directly below at the edge of the right suspension tower. Popped the strut on and done!

under the boot strut section, they sell the strut for a vl for 80 bucks.

very interested in this, as i have a walky spoiler and the only way it stays up is cause have a peice of wood cut to size!

i did the front strut for the bonnet on the weekend, took five minutes, looks sweet, way easier don't worry about the stupid pole no more, and only cost $15 :)
