Seibon Carbon introduces the very FIRST and ONLY carbon fiber hood/trunk prop in the automotive industry. The hood/trunk prop is made with the same high standard Seibon Carbon makes all of its products. It features a sleek, glossy finish that will complement the presentation of your engine bay. Because everyone likes options, this hood/trunk prop can extend up to 50 inches to provide as much clearance and playing room as possible.
 
Why can't I just use the same mechanism that holds open my stock hood and trunk? Carbon fiber hoods and trunks are usually much lighter in weight than their stock counterparts. As a result, the shocks/dampers/struts/springs that are used with original metal pieces have stronger pressures than what's necessary for a carbon fiber piece. Customers are advised NOT to use those mechanisms, because they may prevent your hood and/or trunk from closing and may cause carbon products to crack due to over-pressure.
