Subaru Outback owners, this Redline Tuning hood system is going to change your life every time you pop the hood! Say goodbye to that awkward prop rod that always seems to be in the wrong place. These progressive gas springs do all the work for you - just start lifting slightly and the system takes over, smoothly raising your hood to full height and holding it securely in place. The installation is partially bolt-in with the lower hardware using existing locations, while the hood mounting requires drilling for special multi-grip rivets (don't worry, they include detailed color instructions). The QuickLIFT Elite series uses premium 316L stainless steel gas springs that are built to last, with all steel hardware being zinc-plated then powder-coated for maximum corrosion protection. There's even this cool end-of-stroke dampening feature that slows the hood during the final inches of travel to prevent stress on the hinges. With a 5-year warranty and designed/manufactured in the USA, this is one of those mods that makes you wonder why it doesn't come standard from the factory. Once you experience the convenience of one-handed hood operation, you'll never want to go back to wrestling with a prop rod again!
