I would like to get a LHD gt4 but like the oem riserblocks
I want, it takes months to get. I am going to purchase another stock latch and modify it for now. Any pics / help would be great. -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.

the main latch should work perfect. it works on mine. i was confused when i first put my hood on too because i thought the main latch wasnt working. i would pull it from inside and i wouldnt feel any resistance and nothing would happen. i took the bumper seal off and dropped the hood from bit higher than normal to close it. after i got it figured out it works fine. i can undo the saftey hook first and then pop the hood from inside or the other way around. its just the safety hook that needs to be extended and you only really need to do that after you put the gt4 bumper on.
--------------------  I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |
