 RedLineTuning Hood Lift Kit
RedlineTuning Hood lift kit installed on my Koup:
NO MORE Hood prop-open bar!!! Install instructions are very good. Need: automotive green tape a pop-rivet gun with 3/16" adapter #11 drill bit...buy one, better than using a 3/16 inch drill bit! Drill Took me 30 minutes to install. Used a sheet to cover the engine compartment for metal flakes from drilling. Hood raises on its' own about halfway up.

 RE: RedLineTuning Hood Lift Kit
Actually...I felt silly while writing my post out..."look what I put on my car"
 ...should be standard equipment .The position of the 2 pneudraulic cylinders under my Forte's hood are exactly where the factory pneudraulic cylinders are on my 2003 Sorento... I like my Kias with their 10 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty! |

RE: RedLineTuning Hood Lift Kit
Hey KoupCoupe , thanks for the write up , how's the closing of the hood?
Smooth 1 hand? or 2 handed wide grab? I've seen the video and the opening seems very smooth was wondering if the opposite action was the same

It now closes like my other Kias with the factory lift cylinders -- one handed push. I'm not sure how to explain it...but the cylinders seem to "let go" once you get close to closing the hood.

RE: RedLineTuning Hood Lift Kit
These lifts really help...especially after washing tha car...now when I dry under the hood it is easier to catch the water coming out of the seal at the front of the hood without needing three hands...LoL

RE: RedLineTuning Hood Lift Kit
Totally buying this, and havent even taken delivery yet.
Current original mods I'm working on: 1. iPod dock for console from an aftermarket iPod cable 2. Mood Lighting - one color (done) 3. Mood lighting - multi colors (done, trying to rework to make it cheap) 4. Exterior lighting front (secret) parts on order 5. Exterior lighting (secret) 6. Exterior lighting (secret) 7. Illuminated front badge (different design) 8. Push-to-change-color LED dome lamps (use plans from #3) 9. Removing silver SX rim inserts (someones already done it, looks great!) 10. Rewiring fog lamps to stay on with brights (dimmuborgir91 beat me to it) |

There are now over a thousand views of this post: How many have installed the hood lifts?
