AUTOEXE Bonnet Dampers for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)

Ditch the bonnet prop with gas struts that make access quicker, cleaner, and safer while working in the engine bay or showing off your build.

$360

AUTOEXE is known for its OEM-plus approach to Mazda chassis and accessory upgrades, and this bonnet damper kit replaces the factory prop rod on Mazda RX8 Series 1 & Series 2 models (2003–2012) with smooth gas-assisted struts, delivering a cleaner, more premium engine bay experience every time the bonnet is opened.

  • Allows true hands-free bonnet operation, making servicing and inspections noticeably easier
  • Gas struts provide smooth, controlled lift and closing for a refined OEM-quality feel
  • High-quality damper construction is designed for long-term durability and repeated use
  • Improves visual presentation of the engine bay, ideal for detailed cars and show builds

You will appreciate faster, cleaner and safer access to the engine bay, without fighting a prop rod or worrying about the bonnet dropping while you work.

For a cohesive interior and exterior upgrade theme, consider combining these dampers with the Genuine OEM Airbag Cover Replacement and other OEM-plus trim pieces to keep your RX8 (2003–2012) feeling fresh and modern.
