Default hood tilt

exactly how do you do that hood tilt? i've always wondered how you do it... also, can you still open the hood normally even if it's tilted like that. well any help is appreciated.

Basically you just remove the hood bolts and add in washers or nylon plastic spacers (sold at home depot) then you also need longer hood bolts...add and done.

any reason why you guys do it? it's just low pressure air, it actually sucks air into the engine bay.

One of the gayest mods you could do to a car. Just because you "think" it looks cool and it "might" be a little functional is one of the stupidest things i've ever heard. Just take you hood off, viola the engine bay is cooler and your car can breath better and at least everything will still line up.
