I believe the rod is used because the hood is aluminum, and would probably bend, or at least be deformed by the struts, since they would be holding all of the weight at the rear corners. With the rod, weight is distributed between the hinges and the rod. Put a steel hood on, you can use the struts, but weight distribution is altered. That`s my story, and I`m sticking to it!

The G35's hood feels like a feather compared to my Maxima hood. I believe it weighs about 60lbs. And as others have said, a hood smacking you on the head IS NO FUN. Also, when working under a car on jack stands, the hood suddenly closing will make you crap yourself.
Full size Chevys use a spiral type spring, much better IMO, but I still prefer the prop.
