bwahah thats my teg.
My hood prop is relatively subtle, some guys do it to get 2-3 inches of space, I'll look for some shots.
there's really no purpose to it, some say that it lets heat out of the engine bay, i just think it gives the car a little agressive look.
it started with the hatchi drifters in japan though, to let heat out of the engine bay. there's no real purpose for it on my car, I just think it looks good.
To those of you on this board calling it rice and whatnot, keep in mind how much people that are into the style I'm into bite our tounges at what some of the cars here are. Everyone has their own opinions.
ghost, I think you should try it, dude. It cost me probably $6 at a hardware store for washers and extended bolts, and can be undone in 5 minutes whenever I want to.

do you have a problem with rain and mositure getting inside of the engine bay. i cant see that as being a big problem, but that would be my only concern.
how many spacers did you use, and is it mandatory to get extended bolts. im gonna go to the hardware store tommorow, maybe ill have some pictures.
and BTW get ready for some 4 lug ITR wheels. 2 more paychecks.

Oh yeah, and like ghost originally said, the only actual good you'd get from it would be if you were running ITBs and wanted to vent more air to them.
Which I don't think they make for the F22/3. Oh well, fuck it. Do it anyways.

It's a vicious chain. I'd rather start with something that's in mint condition rather than trying to restore an old piece of shit like I started. Thinking about going to a GSR or bugeye WRX sometime this summer. Time will tell tho, I keep going back and forth between wanting to fix it and not.

couple more... all on DAs but oh well...
I'm not sure what you mean, I put 9 on each bolt that connects the hood to the car, 4 of them. Where would you put them up front?

should i just use spacers on the rear bolt toward the back of the car, or can i put one of two up front.

I was going to do it when we had trouble fitting the engine in. Since the engine itself was about 2 inches taller, I thought of doing this as an answer to closing the hood. Although my hood doesnt close all the way still, I decided to cut the metal triming inside of the hood instead. Still havent done it, but I'll get to it. Goodluck with whatever you decide. I say just do it and see if you like it. If not, oh well, just $20 and 20 minutes of your life. No big deal.

its cosmetic guys. Alot of Japanese have done this to there hatch's etc...
IF YOU WANT, ill do this mod to my car, take pics, show everyone what it would look like then put everything back to normal again. I love expermenting

It may be ok as a subtle mod, raising it an inch just looks like someone didn't put their hood on, but hey it's jDm y0
No harm in tryin it, ghost i'm always for seein somethin dif on a CL, I bite my tongue a lot on here too, and like 650 said, if you don't like it, you can undo it in 5 mins

I just don't see the point. It makes it look like you didn't have the $$ to buy the right hardware for you're hood so you've got the incorrect stuff on there.

Form...Function...Form...Function. If it doesn't do you much good, what good does it do? Not a highly desirable mod IMO. Most people will not wonder if you have ITB's or anything like that, they will wonder if you were in an accident.
