Heres my 05 plate IX UK car

 

Why is your hood up like that? Your car looks good but I hate the way the hood looks..

 

I think it's for ventilation purposes, so engine heat can leave the bay easier.
Great looking car, post interior shots

 

Correct. It was a big fad with the Honda kids. Kinda reminds me of the fender mod we do to our evos.

 

Hood makes sense, but for over all functionality I don't think it works THAT well.. thats what the hood vent is there for and it works great. Raising the hood just screws the lines of the car all up IMO. But to each their own.

 

Interior is a work in progress but will be done soon so ill post pics up then

It was a honda thing but also used on alot of track evos disperse heat .

Im still split on it but its a 2 min job to get back so im keeping it for now.

 

IIRC washers right?

 

Just 20mm adonised washers inbetween bonnet (hood) and brackets they come with a spacer but had to lift that off for the hood (bonnet) dampers.

It does give a big lift I should of gone with 11mm or 14mm really but hey - ho !!

 

Looks Good!

 

fix the hood and then you have a decent looking car. if it was a honda thing let the hondas do it

 

No need for the extra so called "heat dispersion". You already have enough air being rammed into your engine bay from the front and its blowing out under your car and also being sucked out of the hood vent...

 

Geez!!! Its his car let him do as he wishes!! Nice looking car man

 

It's his car and he is doing as he wishes. Lot of people know that it is just dumb though...

 

Car looks great bro no judgement here.

 

the lifters are to help with heat soak of the induction kit I have when on track days .

I have even removed the OEM underpanel to help disperse heat as I do suffer on hot days after a few laps.
