I had the set from ebay. They are kinda adjustable as to how high the hood sticks up. This is with them set as high as they can go. And my co-worker makeing fun of my car. I saw cooler temps on my coolant gauge.

I've read that hood spacers actually decrease cooling efficiency, due to the fact of higher air pressure at the cowl, feeds air in backwards therefore counteracting the air flowing forwards through the radiator.
And plus it makes you car look like a honda.
But if you want to spend extra money on spacers, run your car hotter, and look like a ricer, go for it.

I have this done to my car except i used a longer bolt and put a couple nuts in between. (didn't feel like spending any money on spacers.) It works just the same. As for the cooling it does help with cooling efficiency, I saw it in a magazine. It just doesn't make sense why it would make your car run hotter. Personally I think it looks good but thats just my opinion.
