anyone ever though of hood standoffs?
for you performance guys ever though of raising the rear of your hood an inch or two for heat dissipation? im trying to picture it in my head and i think it would look pretty bad ass especially if you have a pavement pounder.

It is funny you made this thread. I seen black jacks screen pic in an old thread and decide I would make some out of poly. when I get the money or have some made out of stainless at work on the lasers. Bad thing though they might weigh in around 5-10lbs. when completed at around 1-2inches thick. Hence the polyurethane...

In autobody I was taught that if you need the front of the hood up a little you shim the front bolts, to raise the rear, shim the rear ones. If you are doing the kind of lift Im thinking, shim them both, just use a couple more shims on the rear bolts than the front. Dont know if I like the idea, but that is a way to do it. I had to shim the hell out of my carbon SCT hood to make it fit right..lol
