Car Show Hood Props

$99.99

Secure, show-ready hood prop for your engine bay

Showcase your hard work without worrying about wind. This car show hood prop clicks into the factory latch and locks onto the OEM striker so gusts can’t slam or lift your hood during events. Each unit is built vehicle-specific from 1/8″ aluminum and holds the hood in a stable, open, show-ready position.

Why choose our hood prop

  • Wind-resistant display: Locks into the OEM latch/striker to keep the hood steady at shows.
  • Vehicle-specific fit: Made to your exact Year/Make/Model for proper alignment.
  • No drilling: Uses factory points; installs and removes in minutes.
  • Durable material: CNC-cut 1/8″ aluminum with multiple finishing options.
  • Complete kit: All hardware included plus downloadable installation PDF after purchase.

Personalize your display: cut-out options

Make your hood prop match your theme. Choose from Standard, Premium, 3D, or Custom cut-outs. See the cut-out chart in the second product image and sample options here. If you select Custom, we’ll contact you to finalize your design.

Material and finish

  • Material: 1/8″ aluminum.
  • Finishes: Paint, powder coat, wrap, hydro-dip, or factory aluminum.
