    Suggestion #1, fix the hood so that it fits correctly.


    aside from that, looks like an improvement over the hatch. good trade.

    siR headlights and a replica J's lip would be a promising start. Other than that, maybe a cunt hair more low up front.

    I like the wheels/color, personally. But I drive a silver car with gold wheels, sooo....

    You could bust in all the glass, shit on the hood, piss in the gas tank and name it nancy and it would still be an improvement from your hatch.

    Nice trade. Car looks really clean. As far as suggestions go, do your own thing. Make it something that represents you.

    you doing it on purpose doesnt make it look any less retarded. No reason you can possibly produce will justify making your car look like ass.

    QFT.

    I HIGHLY doubt a hood spaced that amount brings under hood temps down by any worthwhile amount. Nice upgrade to the hatch though jey.

    This hood would reduce engine bay temps too.... or fit a blower, turbo, bigger engine, or anything else you needed to fit. so would just removing your hood completely, or cutting it in half, or drilling holes in it..............

    Still doesnt make it look any less retarded. As with most things in life...... cars being one of those things, there is always more than 1 way to accomplish something. You chose the retarded looking way.

    Of all fads in the car world, this one annoys me the most.








    If this guy can close his hood all the way, explain to me why that slow ass civic cant?

    Look Look Mom it's a spaced hood OMG!!!!!! Really? Who cares what any of you really think, how many people have hood spacers on here and don't really need them.... If it's not your car and you don't like it make a comment and move on with your life. Not every Nissan owner thinks a Silvia front end conversion looks good either, some don't see the point of spending all that money but if you do Sinfix good for you. Stop hating and take your Fadded out "Silvia" elsewhere. The coupe was my cousin's car and he liked it, now the new owner likes it and he might like the spacers too. If not take them off and roll on.... I personally could care less and am posting this to make a point, there are many mods/Fads we all go with or may not like. To each his own if you like your car that's all that matters, there has been and will ALWAYS be HATERS/CRITICS everywhere....

    i agree.... i dont care what kind of cars people like or dislike. However...... cars should be built right. You can absolutely hate Silvias and the very sight of a Silvia make you want to vomit....... but you cant say my car isnt built perfectly. Hoods were meant to be closed. This car is flawed. Would be no different than a car riding down the road missing a door. Most people would say "holy shit, that car doesnt have a door, what a jackass".

    Even if i absolutely hate the car itself, i respect anyone who does something right. You however.... insult a car that is perfectly executed that has "more money than its worth" put into it to come to the defense of a jackass who lifted his hood because he thinks it lowers his temperatures.

    I am obsessive compulsive about symmetry. The type of person who would walk into your house and notice your picture frame isnt perfectly level. When i look at a car that has misaligned body panels, it makes me want to claw my eyes out.

    Sorry your so anal and ocd..... Hood spacers were made for a reason and a ton of company's make them. Maybe it doesn't cool the engine like some think and maybe it does, it really doesn't matter either way does it. You have a clean 240 no lie but don't get a huge head and ego over it bro it's by NO means Perfect.... Hella flush/stanced whatever, everyone's doing it.

    But really, I agree that "to each their own". But when someone posts a picture of their car on a site with 3x,xxx local car guys/girls in the car pics section, opinions will be given. If you don't want opinions (positive and negative) don't post your pics here. I had to learn that with my prelude. I think a (slightly)stanced 4th gen prelude with a rare swap, turbo, and custom 1 off pieces is freakin amazing, but it's definitely not for everyone. So when I post pictures, or update my build thread, I expect the good and the bad.

    They don't, complete waste of money in my opinion, but the car doesn't looks bad and my butts not bleeding over his "spaced hood", tho he shouldn't've spaced it

    yeah, im the retard for taking the time to do shit the right way or not doing it at all. You're simply brilliant for building your car with shit you get from the hardware store. There's no reason to do this. It is the automotive equivalency of wearing a tinfoil helmet.
