FR-S / BRZ / 86 Driven.Media Hood Struts

It’s the 21st century and we’re still using hood props? Replace that outdated setup with the Driven.Media Hood Struts and enjoy modern, hassle-free functionality every time you open your hood. Featuring a clean carbon-inspired finish and a direct bolt-on design, these hood struts provide smoother operation, improved clearance, and a sleek visual upgrade under the hood.

Key Features

  • Modern Functionality: Eliminate the hood prop for easier engine bay access and a cleaner look.
  • Simple Bolt-On Installation: Installs with basic tools—no cutting, drilling, or permanent modification required.
  • Enhanced Clearance: Lifts the hood slightly higher for more working space during maintenance or detailing.
  • Durable Construction: Built for long-term reliability and smooth opening/closing action.
  • OEM Fitment: Designed specifically for the ZN6/ZC6 platform for precise alignment and performance.

Why We Like It

This is one of those simple mods that makes a huge difference. You’ll wonder why your BRZ, GT86, or FR-S didn’t come with these from the factory. The Driven.Media Hood Struts add convenience, open higher, and look cleaner—making them an instant must-have upgrade for any enthusiast.

Driven.Media Install Instructions

Remove the two 12mm nuts holding the hood to the hinge bracket.

Place the designated hood strut bracket onto the studs and reinstall the nuts.

Remove the 12mm bolt located on the bottom hinge bracket. Be careful not to drop this bolt into the fender.

Slide the designated hood strut bracket in place and reinstall the bolt with the included washer, again, being careful not to drop it into the fender.

Lube the pivot points with the supplied grease.

Carefully press the hood strut onto the pivot points. The thicker section of the strut should be at the top.

Do the same thing on both sides and you’re good to go!
