The Endura-Tech carbon fiber hood damper kit for the Mazda RX8 is a great accessory under the hood. More functional than the OEM hood prop and a lot more stylish too! These hood dampers utilize a nitrogen gas filled shock along with anodized aluminum ends and powder coated attachment brackets. Our hood dampers are durable and come with a 10,000 cycle warranty (open & close 5,000 times) or two year warranty, which ever comes first. A perfect addition for that individual who likes to work in their engine bay and stylish enough for the show car circuit.
