DIY: $3.57 Hood Spacers - Page 5

galaxygrey13 · 08-27-2008, 02:52 PM

we can do it tonight or tommorow night. I just have to go to home depot.

**0720Steve** · 08-27-2008, 02:52 PM

won't do much for the cai, would still help with heat. dig out $3.57 from the change jar and do a little mod today. give it a try and see if you like it.

**0720Steve** · 08-27-2008, 02:53 PM

alright man, i am down to meet up. but where?

galaxygrey13 · 08-27-2008, 02:57 PM

Hooters! Do you have the tools to do it?

galaxygrey13 · 08-27-2008, 02:57 PM

i dont want to do it to help with the cai i just sort of like how it looks and want to try it on my car.

**0720Steve** · 08-27-2008, 03:01 PM

whatever floats your boat man, to each his own. yes i have the tools. always carry them in my car...the 10mm and a screwdriver. we could do it in the home depot parking lot. which one you closest to? i'm up in poway. there are 3 fairly close by. but you want to meet up somewhere by hooters? where is the closest one to it?

galaxygrey13 · 08-27-2008, 03:13 PM

There are two by here. One is by the 15 and the 8. The other is by the 8 and the 5. which one is better for you?

**0720Steve** · 08-27-2008, 03:13 PM

**0720Steve** · 08-27-2008, 03:21 PM

i get off at 530. maybe sooner. send me your number. i can come straight down after work. what is your schedule?

07NHBCivicSi · 08-27-2008, 03:43 PM

If you are noticing heat getting towards the spacers do you think High Temp Spray paint for like BBQ grilles will help them not melt? and I am thinking of putting mild grade locktite on the bolts so I have a little bit more comfort on them not falling out. would that be a bad idea?

Thats what sucks. i dont know my schedule. It changes daily. I might get out around that time. if not later. Ill give you a call when I get out.

**0720Steve** · 08-27-2008, 03:59 PM

yeah, i would use some temp. lock tite. don't know about spraying them. couldn't hurt. but i don't think these things are going to melt. a good way for me to find out will be my vegas road trip in a couple weeks.

I am not a fan of the look personally, but I am certain these would not melt.
