You insult the intelligence of anyone who enters this thread by saying it's for any other purpose than aesthetics. So far you have two people in this thread, including the guy who posted directly above me who are buying into this nonsense.
    actually a lot of NA civics with k-swaps have to run hood riser because the motor simply doesn't fit.
    I Don't see why it bothers you so much, it's his car let him do whatever he wants.

As I currently do not have a vented hood, this is a cheaper alternative.

    Please stay out of this thread, if that's all you're coming in here for. It'll be much better without your negativity.

    When i walk through my house, if i saw a cabinet door open or a faucet running, id instinctively want to close it. When i see a car with it's hood not closed, i get the same effect. I thought riding around with your hood open was only something house wives did after they tried to check their oil and forgot to close it.

    I can tolerate the (lack of) style, but dont piss on my leg and tell me it's raining. The kid pawning it off as a performance upgrade is insulting to people's intelligence.
