(This kit was provided free of charge to me for this installation video & review.)
CLARIFICATION: At 4:12, I mean that the inside layer of the CX-30’s hood sheet metal flexes; the strut and its hardware seem completely fine.
If you like to work under the hood of your CX-30, hood struts will make your engine bay feel far more premium and prevent the hood prop rod from getting in your way. In this video, I’ll show you step-by-step how to install hood struts, and upgrade your under-hood experience in just 10-15 minutes.

What's the coolest DIY job you've heard of for the CX-30? Leave a comment!
Just ordered a set. Had to do this to my Mustang GT also.
Stuff like this should be standard equipment, considering how bulky the hoods are on these vehicles. Instead, automakers choose to make certain tech-bloat & features that a lot of people don't even want standard instead. Go figure.
I must have those.
Really like the style and pace of your video. I really appreciate you sharing your experiences and view on the CX-30 as a long term owner. I just ordered mine and cannot wait to have mine delivered,
Did a single on my MX-5. It was a simple kit like this install. I wold do this on my CX-30 but, it's a lease.
Doing this on my cx-30 also thanks for the video
Hi James! I did it on my CX-30. Awesome upgrade
hood struts are such a game changer.
Pretty straight forward install. Nice! Hood struts are an odd thing. Kia has them on many models but Honda is notorious for no struts. Camry’s use to have them but I think they even ditched them.
