Product Description

The Greddy 18540101 Hood Lifter Kit is specifically engineered for the 1993-1995 Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) with the OEM hood. This premium kit replaces the factory prop-rod with a pair of high-quality gas-assist cylinders featuring carbon-surface finishes and locking ball-joint mounts. The result is effortless hood opening, firm hold at any height and enhanced engine-bay appearance.

Ideal for performance or show RX-7 builds where engine-bay accessibility and aesthetics matter, this kit helps streamline maintenance and display while retaining full function. Installation requires some drilling of brackets and alignment but uses no major structural changes. For owners with aftermarket lightweight hoods, verifying hood weight and mounting integrity is recommended to maintain proper performance and safety.
