Default Looking for a pic of hood for LS/VTEC swap

I know my LS/VTEC is not gonna clear my stock hood. The thing is way taller than the B16A.

So, if anyone has a picture of the underside of their hood, please post it. I'd like to know exactly where to cut the webbing.

I would maybe look into a ZC hood that has that lift just over the cams. Other than that I really don't know.

I'm cheap, don't really want to pay for a new hood

put your engine in the car and close the hood lightly, see where it hits, coat the hood with something that will rub off it when it touches the engine. then see where it rubbed off. Typically it will impact the front edge of the valve cover.
i've only seen stock hoods on ls/vtec crx's so i have no idea why it would be bad enough to need another hood.

Look for a USDM SiR Carbon Hood. It is same style of the SiR (which is raised in the middle instead of indented) and fits the USDM style headlights.
