My easiest and cheapest DIY repair ever, replaced hood and engine lid lift support with OEM Stabilus, only $20 each, just like the original, takes only a few minutes, only need a medium size screwdriver.
I got it from Amazon with Prime shipping and the rear from ECS tuning. You might find it at Rockauto.com or Amazon without Prime for slightly less. Shop around, the links below non affiliated and I don’t get a dime from YT (my channel is too small).

"You should hear a satisfying click" what a satisfying quote. Great quick video put together
Good work sir. Only similar repair I've done was on my humvee. What kinda camera do you use? I'm considering making some content with my 2008 C4.
thank you Jim Wong, I've posted your video on my blog hope it helps someone out… music was a bit cheese though, otherwise very informative thank you .. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1515570201802930/
Big difference. Suncoast charge like $175.
Get the hood protector too.
