junk yard! $4 each! Brand new I can get the civic hatch ones for $26 each, with no hardware prob. though.

The ones in the junk yard had to be brand new though. I got lucky. It looked like they replaced them just before trashing the car. I didnt clean them or anything. The sticker I removed (because it was big and blue) looked brand new as well. Honda OEM! I went up there specifically and for the only reason to get the 92-95 hatch glass dampers, I have seen them on a civic hood install before, and they work fine. This is prob the second time I have ever gotten parts from a junk yard. I always buy brand new, but it was an experiment, and it worked!

BTW edited the damper thing. I usually say shocks, but I wanted everyone to recognize what it was.
