Front Hood Shock

[mikehkang]

Hello.

I recently replaced the two front hood shocks because the old shocks were not strong enough to maintain the hood in the open position.
I bought the cheaper of the two types available from Pelican.

Now with the new hood shocks, the hood remains in the open position, no problem. However, the hood does not "pop" about an inch when I unlock the frunk. I seem to recall the hood poping it when I first got the car.

Questions.
Is this the case of inferior a part not doing the job like the OEM part?
Or, is there another part that helps the hood "pop" when the frunk is unlock?
I ask the second question because there was a part that I found in the frunk last year back that I couldn't figure out where it goes or even the part belongs to the car.

If anyone was able to make their frunk hood "pop" when unlocked, please help.

Thank you.
