Hydraulic Hood Supports

Have any of you found hydraulic hood supports for the 2015 Fit? It shouldn't be too hard to adapt a pair to work on the Fit, but where would we begin? I guess the length would be the main consideration. A kit for any car would come with brackets, and they should be adaptable to the Fit.

I mean the supports that hold it open when I lift ti to check oil, etc. If there is one that fits, I might as well get two of them.
