    it looks like shit but its not done and works well however i did not know about the civic hood mod so it only opens as far as it can with the pices in there

    i just welded in the tabs and hoped it worked and it did. i diddnt even need the plate on the hood but i did it for precaution i diddnt want to hurt the hood.

    I may have to do this, there is no where for the manual rod to lay across the engine.
