Fashioned up some hood spacers today because I was bored. Not exactly sure how much good it will do if any at all but I figured it was worth a shot since I had the tubing laying around!!

Oh I came home to that.. The city is making our neighborhood that has been septic since the 60s connect into the city sewer system. Regardless, it's hard to pass up a free opportunity like this in ones front yard (in my opinion anyways lol)

Well the bolts that I got were M8x40mm. They are the same size as the stock ones just longer to make up for the spacer, and they fit in there just fine

No problem! So far things seem to be running a little bit cooler. I haven't driven it enough yet to get any solid results though
