if youre concerned about the safety at all, would you really want to risk that? i haven't seen how people do it, so i couldnt really *guess* what the hood would do if impacted. but if i were to worry at all, i wouldnt want to guess that the hood would slide up the window, not through. i dont think the hood would move much as is, nor am i convinced this mod is worth anything.

the thingies i have are 2 1/4" thick plates with 4 holes in them, 2 of them tapped. basically the plate bolts up to the factory hood bolts, and then the other holes bolt up to the holes on the car side where the hood normally connects. think that would really cause a safety issue?

it supposedly draws more air through the engine bay kind of like how it gets really windy in the cabin if you open your windows and the sunroof. The air goes in and has a place to go out thus increasing airflow. No idea if this 'mod' actually increases airflow though.

i said it was 'drift style' because thats what someone told me.
everyone doesnt have to get all antsy about this kinda stuff. its opinion. if i want to mod my car one way and you want to do it another way then thats cool. and if i want to leave it bone stock then same thing. i was just asking about it.
