Hood dampers use the same technology as many shock absorbers. These gas filled struts can hold open a substantial load, and then telescope closed when needed. While many new cars come with hood dampers, they tend to wear out over time requiring replacement. Older vehicles on the other hand can be updated with hood dampers to make engine work a breeze. In addition to OEM style dampers, there are also several companies who produce custom hood dampers so that you can add a little flash to your engine bay and retain great function. This is the perfect modification for the budget minded enthusiasts who wants to improve functionality. Attached photos are model-specific, but are good references.
