DIY extended tophats...

i can see it now, folks are going to wind up putting struts through their hoods.

why not save yourself the time/grief/expense of a new hood and just buy a pair from GC for 120$?

Best of luck y'all! :goodjob:

negative sir :) They have the 12mm option (koni) as well as the 10mm option (stock). All you have to do is select which size you want, they also have a couple color options i think.

And heres the writeup I went off of kinda, but mostly just for the hardware, although I used different hardware then what it says. I got everything I needed at Lowes. Its not very hard to do at all.
