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 Get rid of those outdated hood props and upgrade to the Driven Media Hood Struts.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!
Such an amazing quality-of-life improvement! No more mucking around with the stock hood prop; just lift the hood and let her fly! Its an incredibly easy instal, as well. I also definitely second the other review here about using a ratcheting wrench. Makes the instal loads easier!
Robert,
Thank you for your 5 Star Review on the Driven Media Hood Struts! We are glad they make life easier under the hood. Great tip on the ratcheting wrench too!
Regards,
Such an easy mod to install. The second time when I figured I used thr wrong bolt on the body. Awesome addition. Ditch the hood prop and have the confidence your hood won't fly up when the hood is open
Vinny,
Thank you for your 5 Star Review! A hood prop in 2025 is definitely outdated! Hood struts make a huge difference, and we are glad you love the upgrade!
Regards,
Install is quick and easy, You will want a ratcheting wrench to tighten the bolts down under the fender as the is no room to get a socket on the bolt once its backed out.
Andrew,
