as the title says, looking for some pics of bugeyes with the bonnet lifted at the windscreen edge and if anyone knows how to do it.

Thanks

I haven't seen too many pics of this done on Subies. I did it with my SE-R (sorry, no pics), and all I did was go to the hardware store and get longer bolts for where the hinges connect to the hood, then throw some spacers between the hood and the hinges. It's a fun and easy mod, but it's probably not good for a Suby with a top-mounted intercooler, as it may negatively effect the seal between the scoop and the intercooler. Just my thinking on the subject. Search around and you may find different opinions.

 

I think i have seen it somewhere before.. on a honda or something.. mind sharing what is the purpose of that? Or is it more of a rice boy mod

 

I've seen it on at least one person's bugeye. not sure how it's done but i imagine it shouldn't be that bad. Oh and i believe the elivated bonnet is suppose to let hot air escape from the engine bay thus lowering the tempature in the engine bay.

 

Yep, that's what I understand the point of this mod to be as well. Again, not sure if that benefit outweighs the fact that your intercooler may not seal as well against the scoop.
