Hood Stay (lift) Instal
Got bored yesterday so went out and bought a Gas Hood Stay
then installed it . Install took about 2 hours This is going to be a 2 stage install , the first stage is what you see now . The 2nd stage is the install of a power lock solinoid to open the bonnet at the push of a button , (so to speak.) |

Yeah its a cheap and easy mod to do,total cost of Gas Stay with factory mounts cost me $87.NZ ($48.US approx),stage 2 is a little harder as i need to
make a mounting plate and work out switch placement , for the solinoid but thats more of a time thing , cost wise the switch was $7.00 solinoid $12. more than happy to help out others with parts so they can do the same. Last edited by 1NZYaris1; 03-27-2009 at 09:34 PM. |

Looks like an Ebay bar, with a TRD badge...most TRD logo items have the Red TRD lettering.

I was thinking maybe a relay hooked up to the handbrake so the hood can't open when the car is mooving.

Now you need an actuator to lift it up and down from the drivers seat.
