1997-2001 HONDA CRV BILLET HOOD HINGE

Upgrade your first-gen CR-V's hood support with the Hush Performance Billet Hood Hinges for the 1997-2001 Honda CR-V. Machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum with an integrated gas spring, these hinges support your hood evenly and securely so it does not flex, sag, or fold under its own weight. The gas spring replaces the factory prop rod for a cleaner engine bay and smoother, hands-free hood operation.

Designed specifically for the RD1 CR-V chassis, these are a 100% bolt-on application with zero modification required. The patent-pending adjustable hood stop lets you set your preferred hood height from a full 91-degree open down to a partial "first prop" position for quick under-hood access.

Pro Tip: The first-gen CR-V has become a popular platform for B-series swaps and weekend builds. If you have swapped to a carbon fiber hood, make sure you select the Carbon Fiber/Fiberglass shock option — the lighter valving matches the reduced hood weight for proper support and controlled opening.
