About this part

Product Details

This is the NRG Carbon Fiber Hood Damper Kit, designed to fit your Mazda RX-8 or Protege. It replaces the standard prop rod that holds your hood up, making it much easier to open and close your hood without that old-fashioned rod getting in the way.

These dampers use gas pressure to help lift and hold your hood, so you don't have to manually prop it open. The carbon fiber construction keeps them lightweight while still being strong enough for the job. Installation is usually straightforward, often bolting into existing mounting points on the chassis and the hood itself, though you'll want to refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the exact procedure on your specific vehicle.
