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.

I actually have the latch from the GT4 the hood came on... the release cable is of course coming from the wrong direction but I McGyvered it with two boby pins, a paper clip and a match... other than that... you might want to go that route?
