This system is designed to work with nearly EVERY stock and aftermarket hood out there. We have been selling this system for nearly 2 decades and are well-known for our hood QuickLIFT applications. This system uses a special rivet to attach the hood brackets - it will bind the bracket to any material from any aftermarket hood out there. As long as the hood has copied the stock hood's understructure or frame (common), our hood brackets then rivet into place and will not hurt your hood. With the mounting locations we use, our system uses very low force gas springs which put very little stress on both the hood and fender, yet lift and hold the hood open securely.

✔ PRODUCT DESCRIPTION - Redline Tuning Hood QuickLIFT Systems are designed to clean up your engine bay by eliminating your hood prop rod. One-handed operation, simply start to lift the hood and it will rise unassisted in a smooth and controlled motion. Redline Tuning is the worldwide leader in aftermarket Hood QuickLIFT systems since 2002 with hundreds of vehicle-specific applications.
✔ INSTALLATION - The Hood QuickLIFT System includes all components needed for the installation. Some mounting hardware included in the system requires use of special multi-grip rivets (included) to attach ball stud brackets (drilling is required). We include detailed full-color installation manuals to make installation a breeze.
✔ QuickLIFT ELITE - BEST AVAILABLE COMPONENTS - All of our installation hardware is designed to last and we spare no expense on the details. First, we zinc plate all steel-mounting hardware, then each bracket is also black powder-coated for the ultimate in corrosion protection. QuickLIFT ELITE includes 316L stainless steel gas springs. There is a five-year warranty on all QuickLIFT ELITE components.
✔ STAINLESS STEEL GAS SPRINGS - The gas springs used in our ELITE series are 316L Stainless steel (brushed silver in color). The end fittings used are designed specifically for each application. Gas spring orientation is always body end up (large tube attaching to hood) and extending rod attaching to lower ball stud.
✔ PROGRESSIVE-RATE GAS SPRINGS - Redline Tuning gas springs are not off-the-shelf parts, they are designed by us and manufactured to our specifications for each vehicle application. Our exclusive end-of-stroke dampening slows the rate of extension over the final inches of travel eliminating stress to the hood.
