Dampeners? Haven't I foamed enough about making things wet? They're dampers, say it with me..

You can easily find the ball-stud brackets for those dampers too, there are lot of companies that make dampers like that and they all sell hardware for them too. Probably can't find them locally though. So if someone needs something special for brackets for either end, or just the ball studs with threads on them, they're out there.
I don't think the glass struts would work as well (if they're for a complete hatchback or similar), dampers like that have a load rating and the glass dampers are probably a bit strong for what you need. Hood dampers should be more in like with the correct weight.

I never know OEM dampers were that cheap; that's absolutely amazing for an Acura part. Did you get those new?
