Say goodbye to the factory hood prop and elevate both form and function with the Overtake Hi-Lift Hood Strut Kit. Designed specifically for the 2022+ Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86, this system replaces the outdated prop rod with precision-tuned hydraulic struts that deliver smooth, balanced operation. Beyond clean aesthetics, these struts lift the hood 16% higher than stock for improved access, visibility, and practicality during maintenance or engine bay showcases.
