I had mine done, i mainly like the look of it, but it also served a purpose for me, my catch can always smoked, long story why, so it just vented out the top and i was at a stand still.

its an old muscle car trick.

It is for fitment issues with engines, or to vent out gasses if you have like a catch can. I've been meaning to do mine..i need it for my stupid catch can smoking a house.

IMO, there is no need to raise the hood if you are not running with ITB

I think it depends. If there is a need for clearance, then it might need propping. I know a few turbo guys that need the clearance for their manifolds from hitting the hood.

I'm considering it because my catch can is open atmosphere and it smokes quite a bit of oil vapors into the engine bay. When i sit in traffic, it catches up into the interior and gets me dizzy. I am leaning to propping it to vent my hood as my catch can is near the firewall. This MIGHT help vent the gases so it doesnt go into the interior.

People with H22 swaps need to do it because of clearance issues.

and the EF / EE civics you usually need to raise the bonnet... for anything bigger than a b16 that is.

just did mine the other day, The hinges were repainted on the back side too to prevent rust.

I used 4 1/2inch nylon washers

4 M6x30mm bolts and 12 1/4 washers

usually when you do something to a car, it gives the car a different look. either for the better or for the worse. but in this case, raising the hood just looks like a car with a hood that doesnt fit. it seems like the hood isn't puruposefully set like that. but atleast now i know its a low-budget mod thats pretty much useless if you have a 97 civic with a gsr motor in it, lol
