Or you could do it the ghetto way and use washers. And I think they look stupid also.

 

washers are just too much of a hassle, you'll need like 100 of them, j/k

and some turbo'd cars do have them for venting purposes, but it's still not that effective, unless your ac is removed to increase the fresh air flow through the bumper and grille.

 

its true about the engine thing i did that to my old da when i swapped in my b20b it didnt fit so vuala

Exactly. I had a friend who drove a heavily boosted eg hatch with the a/c removed. Whenever he'd drive it for more than 20minutes or so, it would get crazy hot and you could feel it on your legs inside the cabin. He propped his hood, and it did an astonishingly good job at reducing the temps inside the cabin.

I'm sure someone will argue with here, but we've already got a thread full of that floating around here somewhere..

 

I've also heard people say that you can get a similar effect by simply removing the weatherseal in the cowl at the top of the hood. That's about 3/4" of extra airflow, with the hood staying at the stock position.

 

Very true. The same guy had that done as well.

I should dig up the specs on that beast

 

yeah, if the rear of the hood was already raised, then the wheather stripping is unneeded anyway, so might as well throw it out to increase the effect. i bet that would be an awesome defogger for your front windshield in the winter. lol
