Hey everyone it’s Justin with AmericanMuscle.com, and are you giving your engine way the props it deserves? Not that kind of props, I mean are you still using that dated hood prop to show off what’s under the hood of your ride? If so get with the times and check out this bolt on hood strut kit for your 99-04 V6 and GT Mustang. This 100% bolt on kit requires no modification or drilling unlike other kits, and is available in chrome or factory finish black. In addition to cleaning up your bay it also makes opening the hood a lot easier which is always nice. The kit includes 2 gas powered struts, and also the upper and lower mounting brackets. Install is very easy, both mounting brackets utilize the factory bolt locations, the best part is you don’t even have to take your hood off to install this kit. Install should take you about an hour. It is worth mentioning that this kit might work with aftermarket fiberglass cowl induction hoods or even carbon fiber hoods, as long as both of those options use factory bolt locations. Now if you decide to use one of the lighter options be careful when opening the hood, as these powerful struts are designed to open the heavy factory hood. Chances are when you pop the hood of your Mustang it’s either to show off what you’ve done, or to turn a wrench or two. You don’t want the hood prop in the way when you’re going to work on your motor, and you don’t want some ugly piece of metal front and center when you go to talk about that new blower. Do yourself a favor, kill two birds with one stone, and check out this hood prop kit.

Will these work with aftermarket hoods? I have a 2001 V6, and i purchased a hood from your website. Will this work on my hood?
Absolutely, as long as it uses the factory bolt locations. The hoods we carry utilize the OEM latch and hinges and you shouldn't have any issues installing them on your aftermarket hood. Just keep in mind that if your aftermarket hood is lighter than the factory hood, be careful when opening it due to the power of these struts!
What about replacement gas shocks? When one goes bad, how hard is it going to be to find a new one. I can't seem to get any specs on the cylinder itself. I would like an answer to this question as well please.
At this time, individual components are not available for the MMD Bolt On Hood Strut Kit.

MMD would not carry the shocks found in the MMD Bolt On Hood Strut Kit separately.
what size are the shocks?. mine have gone bad and i am noy buying a whole new kit
What kind of warranty do they have?
These MMD hood struts would not carry a warranty on them.
The MMD Bolt On Hood Strut Kit should not cause these issues. Please contact our Customer Service department so we may assist you in correcting this.
The MMD Bolt On Hood Strut Kit would help free up some space and make it a little easier to access yes.
You can try taking the brackets for the hood struts off and re-installing them. They may have gotten loose over time and shifted.
The MMD Bolt On Hood Strut Kit should bolt up to the Cowl hood with now problems. The only issue is the cowl hood may be a little heavier than the factory hood and the MMD Bolt On Hood Strut Kit could have some trouble lifting the hood up. This kit will also lift your hood up to a higher angle than the prop rod would hold it at, so you will want to check your clearance to make sure the cowl will not touch the windshield.
When I installed my strut kit, I tightened the nuts down until they were tight and I haven't had any problems.
If the hood mounts on to the original hinge brackets, there shouldn't be a problem. Make sure that you have the hood alignment before you close the hood for the first time. (Scissoring off paint will ruin your day.) If the new hood is lighter than the stock one, be carefull. The hood will come up quickly. Mine are on a stock hood and it easily opens!

MMD Bolt On Hood Strut Kit
The product looks to be of good quality. Installation instructions are simple and easy to follow. The only improvement I would have is to improve the quality of picture in the installation manual. Other than that, very straightforward.

Well made
I wasn't impressed on how well these brackets were made. Heavy duty construction. Great addition to the car. Can't wait until summer, so I can pop the hood with some style.

Easy install and great looks!
As usual, AM does a killer job with everything! These hood struts look good and install only takes about 10 minutes with simple tools. I didn't give it 5 stars for two reasons; 1. It raises the up way too fast for my carbon fiber aftermarket hood. 2. The retaining clips are a bit flimsy.

6 star product

MMD Hood Struts
I purchased the MMD Bolt On Hood Strut Kit for my son for Christmas 2018 to be installed on his 2003 Mustang. These are replacing Red Line Tuning struts. He hasn't installed the MMD yet but I believe they are going to be perfect for his light weight after market hood. American Muscle is the best for free shipping and overall customer satisfaction!

Winner
I bought this is a Christmas present for my brother, and he loves, loves, loves it!

Covered
Fit well as described I would reccomend this product.

Great addition to any stang
These are great because they bolt in and no drilling. This is my second pair and these new ones have upgraded locking pins that are easier to install and remove. The first set last ~5yrs before the struts started to fail on me this winter when it got cold. All in all it's a great kit, but would like to just buy replament struts instead of the whole kit

Product all mustang owner 99-04 should have
So much better than having to old standard hood prop. Install was less than 30mins, and zero issues.
November 25, 2018
Great Product
Looks great, works great, easily pushes up hood every time, and easy install, NO drilling. Got on sale but would recommend at full price anyway. Had a rev performance set before and these are way better.

Must have mod
Super easy to install and makes opening the hood more enjoyable. I’m glad I got rid of that annoying hood prop

Replace Ugly Kickstand - Hood Bar
Took about 30 minutes - would have been faster if I had deepwell sockets

Awesome hood accessories!
My Mach 1 hood now opens like a TREASURE CHEST! Going to look awesome when I install a supercharger. Can't believe it took me so long to remove the hood prop that always got in the way. Definitely recommend this product. You won't be sorry.

Hood Strut Success
Great addition to the car easy installation, no problem with hood alignment.

Easy to install
Super easy to install with only a wrench or rachet required. Comes up a little fast for me but that just means it is going to stay up.
