Description:
Versatile carbon fiber hood/trunk prop.
Length: 28" when minimized.
Extends up to 50".
Anti-slippery end cap.
The days of using a broom stick to hold your hood or trunk open are over! Seibon Carbon introduces the very FIRST and ONLY carbon fiber hood/trunk prop in the automotive industry. The hood/trunk prop is made with the same high standard Seibon Carbon makes all of its products. It features a sleek, glossy finish that will complement the presentation of your engine bay. Because everyone likes options, this hood/trunk prop can extend up to 50 inches to provide as much clearance and playing room as possible.
So you say, why can't I just use the same mechanism that holds open my stock hood and trunk? Carbon fiber hoods and trunks are usually much lighter in weight than their stock counterparts. As a result, the shocks/dampers/struts/springs that are used with original metal pieces have stronger pressures than what's necessary for a carbon fiber piece. Customers are advised NOT to use those mechanisms, because they may prevent your hood and/or trunk from closing and may cause carbon products to crack due to over-pressure.

Q: What are hood dampers? Why buy them?
A: Hood dampers are miniature gas pressurized shocks that are used to support your hood when it is open, and to prevent it from slamming down when you go to close it. These supports are simple in design but perform an important task. Overtime lift supports can lose their charge so that they can no longer fully support the weight of your hood. You might first find this out the hard way by getting hit in the head as the hood tries to close on top of you. Once your hood starts to creep down there is not turning back, your dampers are shot. If you have worn out hood dampers it is time to get a brand new replacement pair. Your frustration will vanish and you will have flawless hood operation for many years to come
