Default Getting rid of Hood Risers on a JDM B18C EG

Hello, new member here and filling out my requirements so I can become a full fledged member. I got this hatch recently and it came with hood risers which I despise. Does anyone have any experience with a swap rubbing on the hood? It already rubs and I'm afraid that I will be forced to keep them on so that it won't rub any worse. Do the Hasport motor mounts raise the block up thus creating the rubbing? Solutions? I am not opposed to going with stock mounts as I hate the vibration that the Hasport mounts create and I also daily the car. Thanks in advance for the help.

That needs a lot of de-ricification.

Does that hood have some sort of inverted hood scoop? The stock hood won't rub.

Wow I literally just saw this for sale on Facebook like a few days ago. The owner said it was built in the earlier 00’s and it shows, said it’s been barely driven since Nice mod sheet too, the only eye sore is the kit. But think about it, in the late 90’s-00, kits were the ****.

Thinking back, the car really reminds me of hot import nights, 17 in wheels on these cars, how kits we’re so sought after, the Honda hype, and really what got me to want to be a enthusiast today.

But that’s all in the past now

Yup, body kits were a thing back then. Someone actually tried to bring it back in 2012 on his g35 w/ candy purple paint.
