Shimming the hood is actually very functional. It just happens to look like total crap on the S14.coreansurfer wrote:

you made a potentially good looking car look like complete ***.
you fail.
and how the hell is any of that functional?

nah not really, its not gonna do much but to show that you lifted your hood along with all the other 100000 honda guys out there. for the amount of function vs cop magnet, def not worth it. and the lip, is just cosmetics.this is a definite case of looks>functionrcabrita wrote:WOW you guys can be mean!From what I read time and time again is that those "proped" hood do improve under hood temps

Science... ricer's biggest foe yet!ken240sx wrote:I'm still confused about why people prop their hoods and how it works....There's high pressure airflow going over the car, and low pressure under. Air likes to travel from high to low pressure, not low to high. So how can air be brought through the lower part of the bumper across the engine bay and flow out the back of the hood? Would this not mean that low pressure air would be going to high pressure air?? Is this even possible? Someone fill me in on how air would flow low to high pressure.....
About a year ago there was a huge discussion on this either here or on zilvia. In the end it seems like propping your hood like that might help a little when you're sitting at a traffic light. That functional "mod" is not helping you at all.ken240sx wrote:I'm still confused about why people prop their hoods and how it works....There's high pressure airflow going over the car, and low pressure under.

yeah, thats what bummed me out. Drilling holes in that nicley painted JDM front bumperClawhammer wrote:And why would you staple a $10 piece of molding to JDM bumper?
a cowl-induction intake system orginated during the muscle car era and was combined with an enclosed plenum from the hinge edge of the hood that included the air cleaner and increased colder/more dense air flow to the engine, thus increasing horsepower. i do not understand the venting concept, since, as ken stated above, pressure is higher above the hood than within the engine bay.ken240sx wrote:well that makes sense, if you're gong under 10mph or stopped that it would help with cooling the engine bay, because heat rises and can escape much easier through a bigger opening like having the hood propped up in the back. But when moving the pressure is much higher on top of the car than under it and it would seem that air couldn't fight physics and go from low to high pressure.
