what is the point???

from what I understand it creates a low pressure spot at the back of the hood and doing something of a vacuum effect sucking hot air. Mind you that's my understanding of it and I'm almost positive it's a fairly minute effect and doesn't help much.

just get longer bolts for your hood and either do washers or a spacer thats cut to the length you want your hood to lift up.

cankles knows things we cant even begin to imagine.

as for hood spacing...go to home depot (lowes sucks) FOERST match the thread of your current hinge bolts (not the hood, spacing the hinge up looks better IMHO...yeah yeah i copied matt) then find some bolts that are longer. the length depends on how much you want to space the hood up. to figure this out find 2 nuts that are big enough to slide over the bolt then make sure you have enough for proper mounting (sounds sexual). then buy four bolts and eight nuts and atleast eight washers. then go to the car and remove hood, then hinges. then space hinges and then bolt hood back on. check fitment and you are a go.

ps. the base of the windshield/back of the hood is a high pressure area.

Ok I knew it was one of the 2, that explains the vacuum effect a lot more
