can you elaborate for me? I'm not sure whats going on. Are just the pins holding the hood down now. Sorry, I'm a nub.

I have never seen that before. I feel out of the loop, either that or a) Im not JDM enough or b) I dont drive a POS Honda.

Honda's arent POSes

Basically the theory is it lets cool air in, hot air out, or gives you some more hood clearance... and since my new cai will quite high up,

I don't think I could stand to have my hood look like it's constantly in the middle of getting repaired. Helpful folk in my area would probably flag me down four times a day to let me know my hood isn't down.

i understand the concept but personal would not do it. i'd rather buy another hood with a scoop, make one, or take the hood off



just my $0.02

I think scoops are ugly personally

and if this results in gains, I'll use it... if it doesnt, back to the current cai and stock height hood... I'm pretty sure I'll see some serious gains though.

^^^^ You don't like a hood scoop but you'll drive around with a hood that looks like its coming off? To each his own man. As long as it suits your purpose, go for it.

thanks skwirl. I've never heard of that, but it definitly makes sense. Owen, way to do something different. I think its cool when people apply tricks from other cars. Hopefully you'll get some worthwhile gains out of it. Did you remove the hinge assembly in the front?
