i did do the bonnet lift though, think mine is a bit too high so i may adjust it soon.

no pics of it yet but i will snap a few later.


valet is now due to go a head this weekend with pics on sunday night... should be going to a local cruise where a mate of mine is shit hot with the rolling pics 8)

oh, jap fest in 2 weeks so will have loads of pics from that and i am booked into a civic rolling road day in 3 weeks so even more pics from that one.

i also have prelude front seats to go in but tbh it doesnt look like they will go in... anyone fitted them before?

next on the car is a FULL service inc:

- engine oil
- oil filter
- gear box oil
- magnacore 8.5mm HT leads
- Spoon plugs

- Mon Apr 28, 2008 9:00 pm #52929 supposed to improve cooling.

with the increased air flow going through the front grill and out the bonnet lift.

no doubt you would see an improvement if you were running big boost, etc but there has been absolutly no change in mine. lol

i kinda like the look though :D

"Like ugh, why is your like hood so like high?"

"Because I'm big in the pants"

Hate it or Love it :hehe:

Clean hatch by the way :thumb:

I use it to vent out my open catchcan...it eliminates lot of it during idle. From what I can remember ( I may be wrong) that the vented part allows for heat extraction due to a vacuum since the air flows above the hole.

I think it ruins the body lines of the hood. Tho this hatch is still clean. :hehe:
