The hood prop rod used on the Ford Mustang has been one piece puzzle over the years that has been a constant and for whatever reason Ford has not changed the way the hood is held up. Ford's shortcomings on the Mustang hood prop rod make way for aftermarket companies to produce more reliable and safer means to hold the hood up. Enter Classic Design Concepts who recently released their new hood strut kit for the latest refreshed 2010 Ford Mustang. CDC's hood strut kit eliminates the need for the archaic hood prop rod making it easier to service and modify your Mustang. The hood struts are powder coated and made from high-grade steel. The hood struts are available in black or silver and can be installed by most any weekend warrior with hand tools in about 30 minutes. Each hood strut will set you back $99 and they can be purchased from ClassicDesignConcepts.com.

Dealers and owners of the new generation American pony car can now modify their 2010 Mustangs with these high-quality hood struts that are manufactured in the United States and meet CDC’s precise specifications for fit and finish. CDC is one of the first companies to offer restyling products for the 2010 Mustang, which began hitting showroom floors nationwide in April.
CDC’s 2010 Mustang Hood Strut Kit eliminates the need for the factory hood prop rod, making it easier to service or modify the engine while enhancing the visual appeal of the vehicle. The hood struts are manufactured from powder coated, high-grade steel and are designed to O.E. specifications with the correct valving to open and close with ease on the 2010 Mustang’s production hood.
“If you’re serious about modifying your Mustang, even the smallest parts make a big impression,” said George Huisman, president of Classic Design Concepts. “Hood struts may not be the most glamorous of performance parts, but they give the vehicle a clean, finished look while showing off the engine at a car show or tuning the motor. Our new hood strut kit for the 2010 Mustang contains the same world-class craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into every product we build.”
