I had to make up a plate for them. There are two bolts near the bonnet
hinges and that is where the plates are mounted. So the struts mounts
onto the plates and the plates are mounted onto the two bolts near the
hinges.

Yes, the Civic ones are not enought to lift but does help in lifting
the bonnet. Also, the good thing about having them on instead of just
the prop is if the prop fails the bonnet comes crashing down. Where
with the struts, if one fails it would still fall but at a slower rate
thus, hopefully less damage.
