21-11024-02 Hood QuickLIFT Plus Bolt in Struts Compatible with Ford Mustang 2005-2014 All Stock Hoods (All Black Components)

I love that they offer this product. Perfect fit for my 2010 Mustang GT. It took me about 20 minutes to install including time to adjust the sound tube. One word of caution if you have to adjust the sound tube mounting. The fender clip securing it must be repositioned to beneath the unit. It’s a bit awkward so be careful not to drop it. I did and fortunately it landed in a place I could reach it. My advice would be to place something to catch the clip directly underneath it so as to lesson the risk of losing it should you drop it. Outside of that, it was a simple and straightforward install. It works great (I left the prop rod in place should I ever want to remove the struts and keep it all original. Time will tell if it holds up, but today I am very pleased. I would like to know more specifically the differences between this and the Elite. Delivery was a bit longer on the Elite and it had fewer ratings, which was primarily the reason for my choice. It says components are better on the Elite, but that just tells me these components aren’t as good. It would help to see a real comparison of this model and the Elite. I’ll follow-up later to let you know how these hold up over time.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: These hood struts took 5-10 minutes to install and they have been such a great addition to my mustang. The hood has some weight to it and on hot days when I have to lift the hood my hands would burn while trying to fiddle with the bar support. Now I just barely lift it and the hood struts lift it for me! I love them and I love that I didn't have to drill any holes. These struts use the holes that are already available on the hood from the manufacturer. The hardware is very well made and of great quality and are painted so they should last a very long time and look good while doing their job. I'm not sure why all car manufacturers don't use hood struts instead of the unsafe support bar. They're not available for every car, which is unfortunate. I wish these were available for my mkz!

Awesome kit. Great instructions and very simple install. Looks great and works as it should.

Really love these! They were easy to install and worked way better on my '06 Mustang than the cheaper, no name versions you can find on Amazon. Believe me, it's worth the extra $30!

We bought these as a Christmas gift and my son was excited to put them on IMMEDIATELY. These require very few tools to install and make working on the car much easier. Highly recommend these if your wanting a solid option and a more customized look.

I got tired of using the prop rod on the hood of my 2008 Bullitt. There was a lot of talk on the different car forms as well as videos on YouTube discussing the different brands of these hood struts. I was evaluating lifting power versus placement of the struts. Depending on the brand some of the struts mount closer to the firewall that others and some require drilling a hole. I wanted to have an ability to Bolton in not make any extra holes and have them be strong enough to lift the hood without needing a prop rod. With most of these struts you will have to lift the hood about a foot or so to get the Pistons to where they can apply in a force to start the raising process. There's a lot of pressure in these Pistons so don't be deceived into thinking they're broken if you can compress them by hand. Once you get them on the hood you will see that once extended,if you gently start to push down to close good, the pistons will start to compress. There was no issues with gaps on the hood,either side to side or up and down. Eerything fit very well. My car has an aftermarket fiberglass hood which I have heard is actually heavier than stock hoods. This brand of struts specifically indicates that they will work with aftermarket fiberglass hoods so that was the one aspect that sealed the deal on which brand I picked. Big thumbs up. Easy to install.

Great product. Fair price. Very easy to install.

Excellent!!! Easy install. Note for 06 GT you do NOT have to move anything for this to fit ( sound tube ) . Others you do. Took 15 minutes total to install I had the hood held up with just one strut and the second made it secure and looks great Highly recommend for the price.

Super easy install - 20 minutes tops. Works and looks great. Would recommend to anyone. Put on a 2011 Shelby GT500.
