nope. There is a fixed plastic latch mechanism that needs to be ground down a bit or front bumper raised, I've seen both. The rubber bumpers won't change where the middle of the hood lines up and you have to also be careful of the hood to headlight gap when moving them. It's one of the most common beotches about the car.

Gotcha, I just remember someone on FocusST.org once mentioned they fixed most of their gap screwing the rubber bumpers down more, so I wasn't sure if that fixed the whole problem or not. That makes sense though, I remember reading that some people said they did some drilling too. I guess that is what they were referring to.

Yep. Tried the rubber stopper fix on mine, no go.

Yikes that ford is ugly? Could they have riced it up any more?

Working with Niche to promote their tuner line, 20x10.5 for the EvoX!

AirRex air install on a new 2014 FRS

Turning up the boost a bit on the FRS as well, pulley upgrade and E85 tune

Employee DC2 Type R in for some last minute service before IFO this weekend

Front desk girl is ruining my life with her 350z, I need my wheels to show up and suspension ASAP.

Seriously, who polishes a transaxle and then tracks the car hard on the weekend? Our GM does

vividracing · 01-24-2014, 12:32 PM

CLA got some new Niche wheels already and H&R springs

E46 M3 on aggressive CE28n

Another one on Mag Blue TE37SL

And this guy, on RE30s. If you're into that sort of thing
