shishcabobers · 10-23-2009, 11:42 PM

Hahahhahahahahah this is a great post! Go to home depot.

andisan · 10-23-2009, 11:45 PM

"Parts Shop MAX" they sold some for like $20 bucks i think, but you want to PM DC Dan MAX USA to see if they still have some in stock, thats if you want some quality parts.

Kouki_monstr · 10-23-2009, 11:47 PM

LOL huh? just pile up some spacers..maybe buy longer bolts at most..

89SwapXE · 10-23-2009, 11:54 PM

home depot thats a nice one will consider it

Marcus · 10-23-2009, 11:55 PM

*Nismoknightska-t* · 10-24-2009, 12:01 AM

.

SochBAT · 10-24-2009, 02:32 AM

homedepot. get longer bolts, and shims/sleeves.

89SwapXE · 10-24-2009, 09:13 PM

can i just get some 25mm nut and use them as the hood riser

cleantune · 10-24-2009, 09:18 PM

prob could. The stacked washers or spacers with longer bolts is just done by more people

S14_Kouki · 10-25-2009, 12:54 PM

Damn dude unbolt one of your hood bolts, Then buy 4 bolts that are like a half inch or a inch longer with some nuts and figure it out from there. Dont use washers cause 20 washers compared to 2 nuts..... The nuts are easier to use.

i did that to my old car back in the day, then after i painted it, lowered the hood back and it looked a million times better. Shit looks silly now and overrated, alot of honda guys have caught onto it thinking it helps their 115hp 1.6l engines.

*!Zar!* · 10-25-2009, 04:06 PM

I woke up with a riser.

Matej · 10-25-2009, 04:09 PM

Just take off the rubber strip in front of the windshield wipers, if you have not already.

Flicktitty · 10-26-2009, 06:34 PM

i got the PSM ones.

they really don't do anything. Only thing it "helps" is driving at night with no heat/defrost the windows don't fog up. car doesn't run any cooler. plus i don't like the look. it was worth a shot.

i will be removing them. pm if ya want them, there gold. and like 1"

very true
i stand corrected
but its only the janky 240's that make the rest of us look bad lol

KA-T_240 · 10-26-2009, 08:33 PM

Do what the others on here have said. I have it done on my car cause my CF hood has some flexing and was hitting the turbo.

In combination with the venting I did on my front end, in my experience has reduced engine bay temps. I have no proof of this other then watching my coolant temps, and by just my guesses.

driftsilvias13 · 10-26-2009, 09:17 PM

Yeah sadly I had to space my hood up because my new motor mounts raised my motor so I couldnt even close my hood without them. Dont do it if you dont have to. Looks like crap.
