ok ok... About the hood spacers... Has anybody noticed that after the car is shut off or even just at a stand still that the engine coolant temp raises about 25degrees or so? With the hood spacers, that temp only raises about 15degrees. And besides, I like the look.
^^^No, the hood still opens normally. One day tho.

This would allow that heat to escape your engine bay, without your hood looking all cattywompous (sp)
Short of a vented hood, this is the best option right now.
Other than that , nice ride bro,, I love the clean rear end, teh sex for sure

^^^ too expensive. At least for now. I can only do a little at a time. The hood spacers only cost me 6 bucks. And I like them. Besides, I'm ganna go with an Evo style scoop anyways. Thanks tho.

Everyone's views on rice are different. I'm a little more laid back about that. If i see a honda with rims its not automatically "rice". And your ride is definitely not ricey.

Thats how my hood looks, except i dont have any fancy hood things to do it. I'm pissed about it, dealer said I bent it, but once I get to my sponsor dealer for work, I'll get them to fix it for me.

^^^ It's a common mod in Karea and with tibby owners. I am an ex-tibby owner. Had them on the tib too. Altho I'm going to shorten these ones when I stop being lazy on my days off. Lol...
