Those are the ones I purchased. They've been on for 9 months and every bit as good as brand new. My frunk is up and down all the time, because I use my TS for daily driving errands, and I've even hauled stuff like 6 bags of mulch or top soil in the frunk on numerous occasions.
Given the price, I'm sure YMMV, but I obviously got a good set. The reviews on Amazon are also quite good, with only a couple of negatives. Moreover, they're as cheap and easy to swap out as wiper blades, if I get 1-2 years out of them, I'm happy.
You are contagious. I ordered my 2019 TTS knowing I would move to a 720 or Pista in 2 years. The mechanical gages, pdk, reliability, footprint, cabin comfort, shifter , etc surprised me. I must have fallen into the Alt Verse.
Never been called contagious... but it is most certainly a real problem for me - I become so attached to them, I just cannot ever see being without them.
I used to be totally wrapped up with Ferrari's - wanted one really badly, an NA V12. But as time passed, and some of the maintenance horror stories became more mainstream, I found that my interest in them has waned to the point where I think they're nice to look at, but that's about it.
Never enough garage space. And with almost-enough space, you run into the situation where your Turbo is still blanketed and in winter hibernation in July.
Those are cool - do they "click" on / off (DIY?).. I may do those..
The DSG paddle extenders attach to the OEM paddles with very strong 3M tape. Installation takes just a few minutes after cleaning the stainless steel OEM paddles with the supplied alcohol pad. The paddle extenders are molded with a cavity, which is the exact shape of the OEM paddles, so there's no guessing about where to attach them to the OEM paddles. It took me less than 5 minutes.
DSG also includes extra 3M tape in case you need to remove them, and reinstall later. I'm assuming that would be done with a hair-dryer heating up the attachment area, which should gently release the adhesive. When attached to a clean surface, the adhesive is very strong.
These extenders don't "click" because you're just using the OEM paddles. The ones that do that are all new paddles that require removal of the steering wheel, some disassembly on the back the wheel, removal of the OEM paddles, and replacement with new paddles. Per someone in this thread, those have a mechanical click that the OEM paddles do not.
Even if the Rennline struts were available for the 991, I could purchase 9 sets of the Amazon struts for the asking price of their struts for other 911 models. I'm also not enamored with the mechanical catch design which requires pushing hood up to release them.

Yeah. I agree. I would need to make some vinyl stickers to put on the lid underside.

I would happily pay $500 (2 fronts, 2 rears) to never change those again on my 928. But, I’m an outlier and value my time.
Is there something complicated about the way hood struts are mounted on the 928? The 991 couldn't be easier, they just pop on and off in about 5 minutes. As I said before, they're about as easy as changing wiper blades.

No, ‘bout the same. Careful with the rear hatch, it’s a heavy beast, use a collapsible push rod or risk injury.
But, after 27 years and replacing them every 3 +/- years after year 10, it’s not only vexing but I’m closing in on your “9 sets” and that number assumes that the amazon ones aren’t worse.
We’re like @2fcknfst we don’t generally sell cars. That’s why we have 9 and time horizons measured in units of “decades.”
All that written, I’m going to order a set of the Amz ones and put them on the shelf for ‘next time.’
