Hey, what do you guys think about hood spacers?

I saw some at a performance store near where i live and was wondering about if i should get some or not.

Does putting those on have consequences on the engine since water and snow or dirt can go easier since hood has crack?

I dont want to know about esthetics, personnaly i like its looks, its just i want to know about mechanical issues, of if it can break/bend my hood.

thank you very much

no problems ive ever heard about them, i guess there "all the rage" in japan. i prefer the clean look and not having it look like my hood is bent up, bet hey thats just my 2 cents, dont take offence

 

kewl thanks for the reply, hopefuly i dont get bad replies cauz i really lookin forward to get em laugh.gif

 

Don't spend too much, all it is is a couple of washers and a longer bolt. Nothing you cant pick up at a hardware store....you can even get them anodized.

 

I got a set of them in Korea while I was there and will show ya guys what the hood looks like with and without them later.

As for problems and such, your engine will just get a bit dirtier easier, but that's it. If you can get enough water in thru your hood at THAT angle, you've got bigger issues than hood spacers. LOL

 

what is annodized exactly? rust proof?
and if i can buy them myself, do you know the exact parts i need because i will go check in hardware store if u can tell me the exact piece i need that i would really appreciate man!
tahnks

Anodized is basicly dyed metal.

 

thanks REDZMAN, but does it rust? because i am looking to replace all factory screws because most of them are all super rusty...

 

Sorry I corrected my typo, anodized=pretty.

You can get them in aluminum too.
I am not sure the length or thread gap, might be able to get that off of Webtech or your dealer....or maybe Redz or KayJai or someone will know.

 

kewl thanks a bunch man, id prolly get them alluminium or silver!
ill chek that tonite as i come home!
