1. go to ace hardware
2. go to the rqandom hardware drawers
3. find the chrome spacers
4.pick desired amount of lift
5. go to auto parts store and pick a matching length set of bolts
now go and assemble everything

Re: (ekcivic9)
If one were to attach an air filter directly to the TB, would this work as a cowl induction of sorts? I guess I'm just curious as to if there is an actual purpose for this.

Re: (JimmyAtlantis)
doesnt this effect will cause dead air in the engine? which mean it will get hotter then normal?

It was covered to death here:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1415891
Few purposes, some you will believe some you won't
1: creats negative pressure where the gap is thus helping suck more air through the intercooler and all that stuff, suppose to make your engine run cooler.....
2. some people do it (like my neighbour) because their turbo or something is too big and to be able to close the hood they have to prop it up
3. as with almost all things done on honda-tech, it's done for looks, to look like you have a powerful engine, to look like you know all about cars, and to impress women and 16yr olds.
Cheers!

It did it with mine because my hood didn't set good next to my driver side fender, proping it up made offset it better and took away from the poor fitment.

seen it around here a lot lately, and i think it looks like poo.
the only cars ive seen this work, and look "ok" is back in the 80's the VW tuner crowd did it to the top of their decklid, forcing air into the engine bay.
THAT looked "ok" and had real function. if the function of this one is debatable, then i'd rather just leave mine the way it is, and keep all the rain/dirt out.

Unceasing Measure
Looks really gay and doesn't do jack ****. I don't care what you have going on under the hood as far as induction equipment: the way our hoods are connected to the car - read: after the wiper cowl - makes this ineffective.
And Jesus it looks ugly.

If you want to have an effective lifted hood, go buy a old muscle car.
