ok so i've seen some guys with hood spacers on their cars,
and its supposed to let the hot air out kinda like a vent, well dur since you jack up the back of your hood like .25" or sooo think it would look nice or be worth making a hood spacer "kit" |

is this supposed to be a cowl type hood? um I would think it would look kinda strange with the hood angled upwards in the back

I think this looks arlight on some cars.. but prolly not on a 6gc... maybe something with a little boxier look to it.

I saw a old-school supra like that... but it had a 2JZ and the hood wouldn't have closed otherwise...

well i did it with sum longer bolts and spacers, it actually looks pretty good with the z3 fenders and vader front
"is this supposed to be a cowl type hood?" no its not, its just lifting the back of the hood up where it pivots, the part closest to your window i'll have pics of it up tomorrow |
