Construction & Design:

Crafted with precision, the NRG Carbon Fiber Hood Dampers feature high-quality materials engineered for strength and durability. The dampers utilize advanced gas strut technology to provide smooth, controlled hood support tailored to the lighter weight of carbon fiber hoods. The carbon fiber finish not only reduces weight but also adds a premium, race-inspired aesthetic under the hood.

Each damper is built to withstand repeated use and exposure to engine bay conditions, ensuring consistent performance over time. The design integrates seamlessly with the vehicle’s existing mounting points, preserving factory fitment and function.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is straightforward and requires no permanent modifications to your vehicle. The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware and detailed instructions to facilitate a quick and secure fit. It is important to select the correct pressure rating—low pressure for lightweight carbon fiber hoods and full pressure for heavier factory-style hoods—to ensure optimal support and safety.

These dampers are engineered exclusively for carbon fiber hoods on the specified Scion models and are not compatible with OEM steel hoods. Proper fitment ensures reliable hood operation and prevents accidental closure during engine bay access.
