Would these be worth while in the AZ desert to help lower underhood temps alittle? Was thinking this opposed to cutting the hood.

 

we have very long hoods, it will look very odd

 

That looks like it will help atleast little bit, since one side is not close all the way. But looks funny tho...Idk maybe just me

 

I ran hood spacers on my S13 and saw no difference in hood temps. I ran with spacers, without spacers, and hoodless. Hoodless was the least amount of heat obviously, but an S would look bad hoodless. My S13 had a shaved/tucked/stich welded bay and my block was painted so I feel like it worked with that car.

I'm in AZ, and this was just about 2 months ago btw.

 

hood spacers don't look good, not my car though

 

They make your car look broken

 

i had a bit higher spacer on my turbo 1997 miata - they reduced under hood temp quite seignificantly.
this is measured.

you can't imagine how many times i heard "man, your hood is open".

 

$29 bucks shipped? You could wander around home depot and make these for easily half that.

 

exatly.
this is what i haed - just 10$.

it comprised 4 very long nuts, 4 bolts, 4 shims.

 

start by removing the gasket thing at that side of the engine bay
