Not even sure how to ask, let alone search for this. Rear end of hood open?

I know you guys probably answer this frequently, but everytime I search 'Rear end of hood open a little' or 'back end of hood open', my search returns nothing. So, can someone tell me whats going on with this?
I'd appreciate it greatly!

Hood spacers

 

[95TegDC4]

Any certain 'brand' better than others?

 

[klutchDb7]

You could put a ton of washers in there and be fine they're all the same pretty much

 

[DaddyBuiltRacing]

Yeah most people use washers. Any paticular reason you're wanting to do this?

 

[95TegDC4]

Not really wanting to do it. Mainly just to see if I'd like it on my champ white. Idk, lol. The more I dig, the more i find this being frowned upon.

Kinda cause a lot of the jdm fanboys do it, along with bike racks and a long list of other things

 

[Death-the-Kid]

people did it to make clearance for certain engine swaps. it's stupid and pointless to do it for the "cool" factor...what is cool about propping your hood

 

[95TegDC4]

Ohlord. I didn't know it was 'mad jdm tyte, yo'

Ohlord. I didn't know it was 'mad jdm tyte, yo'

how didn't you know? i'm so jdm i had my left ball surgically relocated to the right side of my sack.

 

[95TegDC4]

Lmfao. That's funny as hell.

The original reason this was being done was actually a functional one. It has been proven to lower IAT's, Intake Air Temperature for those that dont know what an IAT is.

 

[klutchDb7]

Yep, till the fanboys figured out that's what all the racecars do

 

[OGstackadoIIa]

don't do it

if you do it for the swap, a body shop can bend down the corners of the hood, it looks cleaner that way
