It’s the 21st century and we’re still using hood props? Get rid of those outdated hood props and upgrade to the Driven Media Hood Struts. These will give you the modern day functionality you deserve and they’re super easy to install. It’s a simple bolt on installation with no modification necessary.
Why these cars didn’t come with these from the factory is beyond us! It’s such a simple modification that it’s a no brainer. Replacing the hood prop with these hood struts opens up the hood slightly higher and gives you more room to work in the engine bay without having to work around a hood prop.
Remove the two 12mm nuts holding the hood to the hinge bracket.
Place the designated hood strut bracket onto the studs and reinstall the nuts.
Remove the 12mm bolt located on the bottom hinge bracket. Be careful not to drop this bolt into the fender.
Slide the designated hood strut bracket in place and reinstall the bolt with the included washer, again, being careful not to drop it into the fender.
Lube the pivot points with the supplied grease.
Carefully press the hood strut onto the pivot points. The thicker section of the strut should be at the top.
Do the same thing on both sides and you’re good to go!
These carbon fiber Driven Media hood struts are perhaps the single best upgrade that I have made to my 2024 BRZ tS! They are relatively small, but do a magnificent job and look like an OEM part. Installing the brackets on the hood is relatively straight forward. You need to install one side completely first before undoing the 2 hood bracket bolts on the other side (since these 4 bolts are the means of attaching the hood to the car. And be very cautious when installing the bottom brackets. The instructions caution about losing bolts down into the fender. If you are careful you’ll be just fine. We managed bracket installation without incidents. And once the struts are installed it works perfectly! You’ll wonder how you ever did without them! And the carbon fiber strut covers match the rest of the carbon fiber trim installed in the engine compartment! Highly recommended!
