✔ 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.
✔ PARTIAL BOLT-IN INSTALLATION - The Hood QuickLIFT System includes all components needed for the installation. The lower mounting hardware bolts into existing locations. The hood 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 PLUS (ALL BLACK SYSTEM) - 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 PLUS includes black gas springs. There is a four-year warranty on all QuickLIFT PLUS components.
✔ BLACK GAS SPRINGS - The gas springs used in this application each have a black e-coated steel body with black annealed extending rod. The end-fittings used are designed specifically for this application. Gas strut orientation is always body end up (large tube attaching to hood bracket) and extending rod attaches 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.
