Did this mod to my car too... love the way it looks. I've had no problems with it either, besides my hood doesn't close every time. It needs a little faness sometimes... but that might be because my car was not aligned properly after an accident.
FYI... didn't really read any previous posts...

Just another trend imo. Looks like you got in a wreck and replaced the front-end and your hood doesn't line up anymore. I could maybe see the gains from this, but "lowering engine bay temps" shouldn't be that important, especialy on a stockish car. In a turbo aplication, the fight against heat is a big deal and this could be worth while.

here's another way -
i went to the hardware store and bought longer bolts and 2 nuts for each bolt. put the bolt therough the holes and tighten a nut almost all the way down. then put the second nut about halfway down each bolt. put the hood on and screw the bolt in a few turns, like 4-5 threads. then tighten the lower nut down and the upper nut up. the height is easily adjustable via the locking nuts. let me kno if u want a picture2013 Ice Cream Cruise!

it also depends how high u put it.. the one on my sig was my old height.. then i raised it.. u can see the difference between the one my sig and the pic i posted on this thread
EGs and EKs with H22s needed this space for clearance issues and most people thought it was "cool" and copied it... I dont know all the swaps that require this gapping but I can assure you the "performance" gains of doing this do not equal the net loss to your car...

This has been 1 of my fav. simple mods for a long time, I have a 1" standoff using 1" OD walnut, yes, wood, turned on the lathe, then painted black. I wanted a large base instead of narrow nylon sleeves from the hardware store. I do know that idling in traffic or just cooling down during the summer, heat pours out the back. Plus, my Bisimoto header comes sorta close to the hood skin, the hood gets warm, so creating more of a gap and venting heat is a good thing. Stock Hondas run hot IMO, between this and my other cooling system mods, I am very pleased.
