The spacers on the hood hindges saved my life D:

So basically i was heading to chino hills for a celica meet and stoped by the store and right before we leave i show my freind my leds in my headlights. i for some reason pop the hood. so im like ill close it right now and i forgot. so i bounce on the fwy and went no more than 2 miles like at 70-75 and noticed the hood was moving then i happened to remember i didnt close it right D: so i just pulled over and closed it right so either i was lucky AF or those spacers on my hood hinges made it so that the air wouldnt get trap pushing my hood up (sigh)

Hate to burst your bubble but there is a safety latch that is there just for this reason.
Also, hood spacers barely release any pressure unless you have a 1+" spacer and/or rear facing vents to complement them.

@spectra yeah i was like oh shiiiet i pulled over right away my freind who was nehind me was like y u pulled over im like hood was opened X) if i would have sped up to so a honda wouldnt pass me i would have been regretting it but my conscious told me nah let em feel like hes fast jaja

@ garry wait u said when u got urs the hood popped up on the previous owner or he had the spacers and then his hood popped up easier? well from what u said that happend then u did a good job fixing it and yeah i was lucky almost mest up my baby and i wasnt gona make it to the celica meet :/

[garrisonboobs]

no spacers. the hood completely broke off so I had to buy hinges before i could drive it away lol.

and man i wouldve been so upset if that happened to me before a meet. How did it turn out? how many cars showed?
