Installation Notes

Most owners fit a Nitro Struts conversion kit in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools. The kit is fully bolt-on — no drilling, no modifications. Park on level ground, follow the included instructions step-by-step, and have a second person support the panel during bracket installation if you can. The factory prop rod can be left in place as a backup or removed entirely once the kit is in.

Why Fit This Kit

• You're sick of fighting with the factory prop rod every service
• The prop rod has slipped and dropped the bonnet on you (or your tools)
• You want clear, hands-free access for engine bay work
• You're upgrading the look and feel of your engine bay
