Looking for some tips or feedback before I head to the hardware store, thanx!

 

OK, I'll bite on the feedback.

Don't do it.

 

Here is my tip:

replace the hood struts. They are like 20 bucks total. To remove, is one nut on each side of the strut.

EDIT:

Lol @ NJ.

@ the OP for tryin to buy a hood prop. Hell was u thinkin

 

I'm just bored, I think it looks good personally, so ya know, why not?
I'm talking about spacers on the hood bolts cashoit, to lift up the back of your hood (like a cowl)

 

Use washers and longer bolts...

 

I thought he was talking about using a stick...lmao

 

Yes i do, I used a nut on each side and slightly longer bolts. I don't have any numbers on if this reduces engine temps but I figured It cant hurt. I just have it raised slightly so its not riced out sitting 3 inces off the rest of the body, i'll get pics up later today.

 

^nuff said

 

Did mine, I dont have #'s either, but I don't notice heat soak as much as I do on other 4th gens.

I like it, and damn near no-one notices it but me

 

My bad...i thought the OP meant a stick too. I been to a bunch of JYs around my area and have seen wrecked cars with hood props (sticks) installed and to me its jus wrong...

I amend my earlier statements.

Use washers and a longer bolt as others have stated.

In for pics.

 

OP, it'll look good on your car. I'm not sure how well it works though.

 

me too.

In for pics

 

Thanks guys, I did it... Not crazy about it, initially that is, but it's ok...
I used 2 inch 13mm bolts, with 1/2 inch nylon spacers, it's neat and clean cut, but i'm not slammed, i'm only 2.2 and 1.8 with s-techs, so ill have to get used to it I guess, plus i'm on 18'' 09' max oems... Sorry for the miscomunication on the "hood prop" phrase HA!

 

i used. washers.. mine sits alittle higher then planned but I like it.

 

View pandamax's car. His hood is propped up a bit, maybe an inch or 1.5. Just hit him up if you're interested.

 

I use a left handed golf sand wedge

 

mine is propped up because i had to, to clear my 3.5's intake manifold. I just used some washers I think.

 

thats the truth truth....
