fully open hood

[pretty_ricky302]

i was wondering how do u get your hood to become full open, and stand by itself like this? do u drill a hole at the lower end of the hood or is there one there. and add a little metal bar.
if any one has done this it would be a good diy thread

damn those are a lot of integys but look closely and theres a civic

back to the topic ive seen people that fabricate hood things that make it stand up but i dont know

[ehulst]

if u look on the first teg....on the right side of the hood u can see a hood holder on the lower side.....factory maybe dunno

[pretty_ricky302]

i c the little props on the drivin side maybe ill look at my car 2morrow to see if i can make a hole or if ones there and put a rod there and see how it looks

park it on a hill facing up, some hoods do it and some dont. most of the cf ones do

lol, only thing bout me hood i got an alarm on it so theres a wire on there so i cant really pull it up past the normal range so i goin to have to lower it

On the Civic (and most likely the Teg) there way the hood prop is designed allows the hood to work like that.

Our hood prop doesn't go straight up, it angles in. In the Civic its along the edge of the fender. Thus it can pop up easier.

it's factory.... the DC2 have two slots for holding the hood up. Same with the civics, EG and EK.

ook maybe ill try to copy that shouldnt be that hard

I open my hood all the way whenever I'm working on the engine to let more light in. Make sure you either extend the washer fluid flex hose from the fender to the hood (driver's side), or you'll have to manually reattach it each time.

As for keeping the hood open, I usually just use bungee cables. Probably not the appearance you want.

my car does it. with the carbon fiber hood and no hood prop. it will stay there forever unless the wind blows it down

[Hitmanace89]

my car does it as well..

all you do is just pull back the hood as much as possible...so I don't know try it on yours...but if you have like a hood damper or something..you might want to take em off and try it

good luck

Damn that's a beautiful car...

pop the hood and push it all the way up and it should stay like that well for me atleast.

Heres are some pictures.

mine also stands up on end. if you want to be careful, you can put the end of the prop rod in one of the holes in the corner near the driver side hinge, itll help hold it up and its held higher than normal
