Star RedLine Tuning Hood Lift Kit - Sedan
RedlineTuning Hood lift kit installed on my Sedan:

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.

RedLineTuning.com

There are 2 versions available...black or shiney...shiney cost more and have a 4 year warranty.

RE: RedLine Tuning Hood Lift Kit - Sedan
I think this is number 2 on my list... number 1 is seat covers, but this is a very close second. I hope my mechanic will install them for me. Smile what can I say, I love working on cars, but as of late, I've been lazy. Plus, I don't want to have to buy a pop-rivet gun just for one job. oh well. Thanks for the info!

You might be able to rent a tool from Autozone. Check if there is one local to you.

I certainly recommend this hood kit...I have it on both my sedan and Koup and will install one again if I buy another car with only a prop rod!
