    Want relief from that stupid hood support always being in your way? We introduce our newest product, EasyUp Hood Dampers.

    Unlike other hood dampers, our struts are inverted which reduces the risk of strut failure. Being inverted, the seal between the housing and the shaft is always lubricated. If you have a strut(like the others) where the housing is on the fender side facing up, over time the seal will fail because the seal is not in the oil bath and the wiper will dry out (if there is one) and grit will eventually get in it.
    We also have a controlled valve so that at the end of the stroke it does not pop.

    -Product is designed to work in both hot and cold climates
    -Hardware is corrosion resistant
    -NO drilling or rivetting required
    -Installation is 20 minutes or less (honestly 10 mintes)using hand tools
    -Uses Stock bolts and locations
    -Looks like they are stock from the factory!
    -Hood is only assisted when hood is opened past 45 deg.
    -Piece is made out of high quality lifters and chrome Shafts
    -Gets the stock hood prop out of your way once and for all!
    -Opens the hood higher than the stock hood prop

    $79.99

    Can be purchased here:
    www.grimmspeed.com
    click on new store, then hood dampers

    thanks!
    Justin

    so you can open the hood at any angle? Whats the deal with it being open only 1/2 the way in the 4th pic?
