Remember the good old days when you got in a head-on collision and the hood would come straight through the windshield and cut people in two?

The only issue I can think of with the spacers would be snow. I believe this would be a good spring time addition. Still looks good to me.
RE: HOOD SPACERS with PICs - darkpuppet - 09-13-2010
I can come over with a crowbar and angle grinder if anyone needs their panel gaps unevenly widened....
I think the hood spacers started as a way to vent hot air (doesn't work), and the rusted hood thing.. I dunno...I think putting it in context helps a lot, Having a car with a hood in Uzbekistan is pimpin', and paint for your hood is hard to find there... so, yeah, I suppose it is a euro look you can cheaply do yourself..
Of course, to each their own, but I personally won't be rushing to have bits of rusted hood pit my windshield while driving on the highway.

Not just the snow, but the heat from the engine bay will fog up your wind shield

Rusted hoods are great if you like rust spots on your $13,000 aggregate driveway. If it's your parent's place who cares? </sarcasm>

not going to lie here guys, im still contemplating the rusted hood with lifted rear look like o2designs did on chromey. thats one hot car IMO. putting on lime green wheels however wont look so good LOL to JDM wannabe for me.
i may rust my hood yet, or find a junk hood and rust it to see what it looks like.
