Yah, me too^... would be really convenient to have if oyu work on your car a lot.. You can adjust the dampers to how high you want the hood to extend right?

^i doubt it......it might be either open or close......

eh you do know you can just lean the hood ALL the way back right?

I see^... I thought like the default height would be something around like stock when you opened it up... have some kind of stopper in it. Well if it opens alll the way back, all gravy then

well the kit requires drilling, so u can possibly adjust the height by getting longer or shorter dampers...but even thats limited, as u need a certain length that will allow the dampers to compress when u close the hood...im in the process of making mine as well...it would probably require re-routing of the windshield spray hoses on the driver's side...mine will be in polished or carbon fiber...ill keep u guys posted...

I can NOT lay my hood all the way back... the corners hit before its possible. My buddies 97 civic could go all the way back though.
