A vehicle hood lift mechanism is disclosed, including a central member extending between a vehicle and a hood. The central member is pivotally engaged with the hood via a first hinge. A central portion is pivotally engaged via a second hinge to the central member. The central portion includes a lower and upper member each joined at the second hinge. The lower member includes a distal end pivotally engaged to a lower member via a third hinge and the upper member includes a distal end pivotally engage to a second arm via a fourth hinge. The first arm extends between the distal end of the lower member to the hood and the second arm extends between the distal end of the upper member and the engine compartment. The vehicle hood lift mechanism allows the hood to be maintained in a horizontal plane when in a raised and lowered position.
