Default Hood struts

Hi all,
I'm having issues with my hood not staying up when opened. I'm thinking the reason for this is struts are toast. Has anyone replaced them if they've had the same prob(or figured out what it is) and where can I get them if that's what I need to do? Thanks for any help before I get decapitated

Yes if your hoods not staying open you need new struts. As to where you can purchase them, most auto parts stores carry them. Autozone, ect. or you can find them online at Rockauto.com and every once and awhile on ebay if you're looking for used.
