well first off check out the hood bump stops. they could easily hold the hood up if the hood pins typicaly get put there.
if there is a stock hood latch built into it i wouldnt think that would hold anything up that high.

make sure that the hood latch and the catch on the hood match up.

We require pics of it with the hood down

Hood looks good though. Is the Mugen grille real CF?

And your car's starting to remind me of the b18b-swapped EK that got sold out from under me lol
