2004 TL Hood Strut - Hood keeps failing

Any recommendation where can i buy these struts rather than from a dealer or any Struts that are better the original parts but not that expensive.

I have battery problem today and found out that the hood is kept falling. It was holding for little bit in the morning but now it does not hold the hood so i have to hold it with my hand. I believe that would be the struts.

Any instructions on how to install it? I am not a car person but I will try it.

Thanks

I looked at acura estore and the name is not strut, it is STAY ASSY., R. HOOD OPENER and STAY ASSY., L. HOOD OPENER

Is it right?

I believe that you can get aftermarket replacement ...check out TEIN I think the one for the RSX will work but google it before you do it....someone on here did it.
