And with the Bar sitting where it is it has a slight bit of a problem closing the hood. The hood closes like 90% but I cannot get the strut bar any lower as its already closer to my MAF sensor then I would like it to be.

Im thinking one of two things here... Ive started cutting the under shroud of the hood across where the bar sits. This will allow the proper room for it to sit.... Or after market hood, From what I have seen Carbon Fibre hoods dont have that mesh design on the under site.

Any other Ideas ( Other then replacing Parts which Im not going to do sense I like the intake and the strut bar already)
And yes Im totally into a carbon fibre hood but its gonna cost alot.

That 'mesh design' you refer to is there to stabilize the hood...I imagine if you cut it, at a certian point the hood may not keeps its shape..

I dunno for sure, but its just my 2 cents

p.s.

THAT ENGINE BAY IS DISGUSTINGLY FILTHY...CLEAN IT A.S.A.P.!!!!
