i dunno if your plastic/rubber hood spacer is GOING TO HOLD ON HIGH TEMPERATURE
watch out dude, you know the temp in the engine bay can go pretty high and make sure that thing DOESN'T MELT !!!!! good way to save money i guess |

wouldnt this only help(extremely little if at all) when the car is stopped due to the air pressure when you are moving being greater on the outside of the car than on the inside. therefore the air is pretty much still trapped in the engine bay

i just did this on my car.. went to lowe's. i stopped and got out and felt the heat pouring out. i think they will help.. i also dont think they will heat up enough to mess w/ the plastic spacer. i paid less than 5 bucks for these
lol
