Fits well, no drilling, works like a charm but thise tiny clips are pain to insert once they are installed. BUT the hood will sit higher the usual about 1/8 or higher if your using it in an NA, the shocks sit on your fender boots, there's not much you can do about it. Review: Great upgrade! - This kit is an awesome upgrade over the stock hood prop. The hood opens an inch or 2 higher than before, and you don't have that annoying stick propping it open. The pistons require very little effort to open and close the hood, just lift a bit and the hood opens by itself. The kit literally bolts on, but there is one con. After installation, the hood will not close properly around the back area, so the lines will not meet. The only way to fix is cutting away some of the plastic and/or insulation from the car back there. I used a drywall knife to chip away excess material and the hood now closes properly. WARNING! The first time you will try to open and close the hood, it will look like the hood is about to break. This is fine, just gently try harder and harder until the hood closes, and then for a 2nd time it should work properly. ## Features - Pack of 2 struts and all mounting brackets.

I of course looked to see if I could order them through some means, but the only option was to spend well over $200 USD to order them and help fund communism in doing so. Being that I am a resourceful American capitalist I knew there must be another way, Chinese labor producing goods at prices well under the competition. Enter Autobahn88's hood struts. They are not OEM and they don't look like a factory option would, but it works well. The install took all of 20 minutes and the results are good. The struts hold the hood up higher than the stock prop does and they have enough force to push the hood up on their own past a certain point. They clear everything but the rubber trim pieces that cover the edge of the fenders, which only lifts up the corner at the lower strut mount. The upper mounts have a foam pad to help protect the underside of the hood. The lower mounts do bend the edge of the piece of the fender they mount to slightly, which may lead to a possible rusting point down the road. The instructions for install are lacking but provide enough pictures to figure it out so long as you have the basic ability to match similar things and know which hand is left and which is, through the process of elimination, the right. The kit included everything I needed except for a 10mm and 12mm socket and ratchet to make use of them with. The kit goes so far as to include grease and a cotton swab to apply it. I would have liked the hood mounts to attach using both bolts for the hood, but it isn't absolutely necessary. The lower mounts could have the ball mount drop lower and clear the rubber trim, but they don't need to. The lower mounts could really do with a slight standoff to avoid bending the edge of the fender. The instructions really should be more detailed, my countrymen are eating dissolving laundry detergent packets and could use more handholding when being instructed on what shouldn't and shouldn't be done. Overall it is a solid option that costs less than other options and does what is is suppose to. Note: The mounts pictured are nothing like the ones that come with the kit. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/64320400-hood-lift-support-kit-with-gas-struts-and-brackets-compatible](https://www.desertcart.us/products/64320400-hood-lift-support-kit-with-gas-struts-and-brackets-compatible) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
