So I got a Jspeed front strut bar and I found out it doesn't fit under the stock hood, when the seller said it would.
Does anyone know if it will fit if I cut any of the support braces out? |

it fits on my stock hood. no problems. are you not able to close the hood? some people have done is install a couple of washers on the hood hinges to elevate the hood from the windshield area giving it more clearance.

That is correct, I cannot close the hood. I'll be double checking it on Friday though. Worst that happens is that I space up the hood with spacers or cut out some of the supporting braces |

Try the washers first mike, I cut my supporting brackets on my old hood to clear the IC piping and regretted it, it looked to sloppy.

yayyy for meeee....
So will I have to cut out the support braces on the hood and use some washers to bump the hood up? Or just do one of those options? |
