you mean something like this.... http://www.corsportusa.com/store/cat....php?cPath=126

but yes kinda expensive though, but you get better looks though, then the $5's worth stack of washers (that also happen to be adjustable too, just add or remove washers)

biggest waste of money, EVER!!! There is no benefit to that shit unless you park hard like them "posers". Its just messing up the aerodynamics of you car. Might as well put some huge ass wings on your trunk with some "tyte shit yo" body kit while you are at it.

actually i have read in sevral places that there is gains inlifting the rear of the hood in2 areas lower under hood temps and it dose offer more aerodynamics because it carries air straight fromthe hood tothe front wind shield with no interference from the windshield wiper and i love the look.

as said above you can go the $30 pretty route, or the ugly $5 stack of washers, that also happen to be adjustable

Well under hood temps are not really a problem in these cars. If you're having overheating issues, lifting the hood isn't going to solve your problem. The aerodynamics theory is a load of crap in my opinion. You're not going to gain anything in that department. It's not going to make your car any faster, the wipers don't produce drag anywhere near enough to affect your car's wind resistance.

Personally I think the look is silly. Why would you want the car to look like the body shop severely screwed up when they mounted your hood?

Lol, exactly, why the hell would anyone want their car to look like there is some fitment issue or something. It looks like shit.

I guess it CAN cool your engine slightly, but like i said tho, only when you are hard parking your car.
