Foxbody, SN95—it doesn’t matter. If it has a hood, this makes it better.
Redline Tuning Hood Quicklift Systems are designed to clean up your engine bay by getting rid of the hood prop-rod. The clunky prop-rod is at all times in the way, but after putting off the prop rod and installing a Hood Quicklift System the engine bay is free from obstructions. All Quicklift Systems utilize progressive-rate gas springs to be able to lift and hold your hood open. Simply begin to lift the hood with one hand and it’s going to rise unassisted in a smooth and controlled motion.
Performance (Convenience) Benefits
- Hands-free hood operation
- Cleaner engine bay appearance
- Faster access for maintenance
- Improved safety—no accidental hood drops
- Makes your car feel more modern instantly
Not faster. Not louder. Just smarter.
Installation – The Hood Quicklift System includes all components needed for the installation. Some mounting hardware included in the system requires use of special multi-grip rivets (included) to attach ball stud brackets, drilling is required. A full-color installation manual is included to make installation quick and easy.
Why This Upgrade Matters
The factory prop rod:
- Gets in the way
- Looks outdated
- Isn’t exactly confidence-inspiring
This system replaces it with modern gas struts, giving your car that premium feel every time you open the hood.
It’s a small upgrade—but one you’ll notice every single time.
Quicklift Plus (All Black System) – All installation hardware is designed to last as all metal is double-treated. Steel mounting-hardware is zinc plated, then black powder coated for both appearance and added corrosion protection. There’s a 4 year warranty on all Quicklift Plus components.
Gas Springs (Black) – The gas springs used in this application every have a black e-coated steel body with black annealed extending rod. The end-fittings used are designed specifically for this application.
Fitment – Works on all Hood types (Steel, Aluminum, Carbon, Fiberglass, SMC, and so forth.). Compatible with all 1979-98 Mustangs. System will also be installed to work with large cowl hoods.
Final Take
No horsepower gains. No dyno charts. No bragging rights.
But every time you pop the hood and it lifts itself like a modern car? Yeah… worth it.
