    i know that you can get hood spacers for Hyundais...so look for that. might have to fab up something from a Honda...i don't remember seeing them for Corollas

    Is it really necessary for stocker engine na?

    i personally dont like the look of the hood slightly tilted. looks like your hood is messed up or something. i'd rather get a hood scoop or make my z3 fenders functional like tweak suggested.

    Just put some washers, it's the same thing.

    I wouldn't do it becuase my engine bay would just become dirty.

    id rather grab an extra hood, and put a functioning scoop on it like vortex did. it would look better. like vibe said that looks like your hood is messed up

    It just looks like you got into a small front end fender bender and the hood is pushed down in the front and up in the back.

    You don't need it, and that's a cheap way of getting cowl induction and looks silly anyways. Either do an actual functional scoop, or leave it stock.
