Aligning a hood like that is so easy a blind man can do it.

Most people who do this NEED to do this.... I know a guy with a supercharged tiburon that had to raise his hood for clearance. If you are not doing this for clearance and hopefully short term... you my friend fail.

i love how the guys that start threads and get burned never post back to try and defend themselves... it's like they'd rather just take the beating than try and the explain the reason for there stupidity.

Dude, just cause he likes a certain thing doesn't make him stupid. Just let him be.

How about this; I have a life so I dont sit on my a$$ online all day faping off like you! and I dont give a rats a$$ what you no0bers think about what I do to my car. I'm not like the others on here post threads like "is this ok?" or "does this look good?" lol why dont you go ask your boss (your Girls) first if you can spend your money
If you dont know how to do it SFTU and move on. Its that eazy peeze.
