    DIY: Floating Hood?

    How do you customize your hood to "float?"

    I know they sell universal kits for alot of money but damn too pricey.
    Is there a way to do it without an expensive kit or pricey labor?

    Floating Hood - the hood is slightly lifted from the back but the front stays snug. This causes a slanted look.

    uneekazn1 has done it.

    Thank you and good night!

    i believe the proper term for them are "hood spacers".

    passwordJDM has them, but you probably already knew that! =)
