Built for us by our friends at IL Motorsports, this dual hood lift kit will open the hood a bit farther than stock, gives you more room to work, and has the perfect balance of assistance. Because there are two hydraulic lifts, the hood doesn't twist and there's no bending when closed. As seen in our V8 conversions.

Bolt-on installation. Fits all ND Miatas and all Fiat 124 Spider.

Only for models without the active bonnet system, which was only available on some non-US-Spec Miatas. If you have black metal blanking plates near the hood hinges (as show in the fitment picture above), these will work. If you have a mechanism that protrudes from that plate, this won't. Put another way, this will work fine on all US-spec Miatas and Fiats.

Good addition-it just need tweeking

I really like the hood lift

‘Except’ it is not as smooth as the one on my ‘05.

When I measured the mounting spacing, it was as I suspected.

The mounting points on the fender are wider apart than the mounting points on the hood. Which I believe cause the struts to bind just a bit making the lift just a bit un-smooth.

It looks like the fender mounts could be redesigned to move the mounting balls in a bit to align it all to smooth it all out.

IMHO

This isn't something we've experienced before, and the ball and socket should account for the misalignment (to a point). We would recommend taking the ball and sockets apart, greasing or oiling them, and putting them back together. That should make it move more smoothly.

Easy install and cheap and easy mod. Leaves one more piece to be desired..

Like I said great mod for the price. However after install, the LH side of the hood is interfering with the fender. Would love instructions or troubleshooting guide on how to realign body.

There is also a z-direction (height) gap between the hood and fender when closed. Not enough to create any issues but it is somewhat noticeable.

Not sure how this would be solved unless this piece is design from the factory.. just food for thought.

Not a smooth (so far) as the lift(s) on my NB

I just installed the lifts on my 2021

Installation is straight forward (you will need a 12 mm open end wrench for one bolt).

Maybe it’s because it ~ 30 degrees out side… but the lift(s) are a bit ‘sticky’ when opening the hood.

Closes fine

But at 1st wouldn’t open fully

Now seems to open in assisted from ~1/2 way … VERY SLOWLY..

If this clears up with usage, it will get the 5th star

ND dual hood lift kit

Installed this kit easily. No issues with the pin insertions. Hood now opens much wider. I am 6"4" and appreciate the extra opening height. I no longer need to stoop over to access common items such as oil dipstick, coolant fill, and brake fluid reservoir. I liked it so well I ordered a kit for my daughter's MX5 the day she purchased it.
Will definitely recommend this product for those thinking of purchasing it.
