Hood Mod

some have you might be familiar with this mod, some of you might not be. well what im gonna do is slightly extending the rear of my hood upward. im gonna put a few spacers inside the threading of the hood bolts. the mod is meant for guys with ITB's to be getting more air, but obviously im doing it for looks.

heres 650's car as an example.

To me it looks like the hood is out of alignment.

Yea, I have that exact mod. I ran into the back of a charter truck. It looks tight. Fuck some spacers, just give a truck hitch a little bump and your good to go.

Well dont just do a mod just to do it. If it doesn't look good then save you're $$ for something better.

funny but no really.

like i said this mod is useless performance wise. unless you have ITB's where the original I/M is facing the rear of the engine bay.

man wheres 650 when i need him. hope u dont mind i jacked your pic, but i was the easiet i could find from the H-T, CL Thread.

Of all the answers given to your mod, I'd like to say that this is my favorite one.

You dont have ITB's. You're making your CL look like it was in an accident. Do us all a favor and stop finding ways to make your car retarded.

If you want though, next time I'm up in AC, i can swing by and give a few swift kicks to your ass and your front fender to mis-align it near your bumper so more air gets in. Free, i promise.

i clearly said i dont have ITB's and that this mod isnt for performance. first of all my car does not look retarted or ever will and 2nd where the fuck is your car, ive never seen it. but idc hate on me because im trying to do something not seen everyday on CL's.

too bad i dont live anywhere near AC. how about you does us favor and next time you go to AC fuck some prostitue and get fucking herpes. your a bitter fucking douche bag that always has negative commentary. i was keeping my patience but your such a habitual line stepper.

Its not the fact that its expensive. Even if its $20 why do it just to do it. That 20 could go to a full tank of gas or 40 Macdonald's apple pies.
