    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! =)

    I've always called it "Vented.."
    I vented the hood on my sr'd 240, and didnt see much of any change in general running temps..

    same here but i think it goes with a longer hood such as a 240, s14.5

    CorSport has them. Like 30 bucks or something. I think it looks cool.
