Raised hood ??
Greetings,
Has anyone seen or heard of raising your hood slightly? It looks like the hood is open maybe an inch. I guess you place washers on your molting bolts or something. Would anyone know what this is for or how its done ?
Thanks,
Jason

It's actually used as a cheap alternative to buying a vented hood. I could never figure out how they accomplished it though. The bolts attached to the hood are only about 1/4" longer than they should be and the hoods with the mod usually look 3/4-1" higher than stock. If someone who's done it could post pictures and a write up, that'd be great.

You need washers between the hood and the hinge. I think that's a pretty cheap idea if it's used as a vented hood. I just think it looks cool, plus it might give me some more hood clearance

LMAO! 
That was my first thought after wanting to do it, but when I looked under the stock hood I noticed the screws are fastened onto the hood from the inside. If you've got an idea to replace those I'd sure like to hear it!

Why don't you stick washers between the hood and hinge, and the hinge and frame? That sould give you at least 1"
