Default Shell Valley Daytona heavy bonnet (hood).

The bonnet (I think you guys might call it hood?) anyway the opening bit on the front, is very heavy which means it’s very difficult for one person to lift. Attempting to do it on one side by the bonnet catch means that the bonnet is twisting which is cracking the paint. If it could be raised in the middle and not by the bonnet catch at the bottom it would not put stress on it. Has anyone used a spring system that’s used on conventional cars? Or any other system? Needing a second person to help lift it is slightly inconvenient. Thanks.
