looks cheap imo
all you do is put washers so that it sticks up more, this is old, ive done it before, but didnt like it, trust me...when you see it in pictures its different, when you do it in person, it will bug the shit out of you, and make you feel like your hood isnt alligned properly. but everyone does it, and just to let you know it doesnt even work with the cooling down your engine thing, everyone does it cuz someone did it back in the day, and now everyone wants to be different like that one person and do it, but now everyone is trying to be different, so now it just looks stupid, and truly doesnt serve any purpose what so ever. in this instance its fashion over function, trust me its not function over fashion, the reason all those guys in the picture are doing it is cuz they are friends, the cars are rodrez's and his friends, so they all decided to do it. i wouldnt do it, if i were you, you'll just be made fun of. oh and btw if i remember right you wont be able to open your hood all the way if yo do it, but im not sure, i forgot it was along ass time ago.

I thought hoods were like that sometimes because they had larger ITB's to fit under the hood.

It looks cool on some cars I think. But I wouldn't do it because it looks ghetto-rigged-JDM.

sometimes people also do it cuz of head clearance on your engine. but i still think its stupid, and yeah i heard of people doing it to get more air to there itb's, but its not going to take any amount of time off your e/t on the 1/4. oh yeah whats cool about k series motors is the itb's are in the front so intstead of popping the hood up like that just cut a big ass whole in the front ahaha or take it off completely. i dont know how many of you are familiar wiht pacman's car but WOW thats how you get air to your itb's!

You are talking about the K20CRX? If so, that thing was a beast! Looks like it was about to shoot someone. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

yeah thats the one, they have an EG in the works k20 turbo fucking nutz!! 9 sec street car. there are pics on h-t, they also have a 1000 hp 240 i believe , and that crx has stock internals just a race header no exhaust and itb's i think maybe hondata kpro ecu, but it runs 11's, it beat a b20 vtec hatch with internals and i/h/e and he gave him about a 2-4 car headstart, and smoked him by even more! i love that crx!
