im shimming my hood til i come up with something... I work at a badass body shop so im gona talk to my boss about making some kinda bump like the M3's.. that would look badass

ps: shimming the cradle wouldnt lift the car... im just worried about the motor sitting 1" lower then originally designed, (1/2" mounts 1/2" cradle) if that would destroy axles etc

^^lol, i didn't mean the body lift thing literally...it's pretty obvious it would actually lower the car, but i just meant there are so many things shimming the k-frame would adversely affect it would be super wrong to do (just like a body lift lmao). steering, suspension geometry, not to mention all the things you DON'T want close to the ground on a slammed car would be...alot closer to the ground, lol

i finished up the hood today, i ended up lowering the front innovative mount another 1/4" and machining 1/8" off the top edge of the front p2r plenum. unmolested hood ftmfw, i was super stoked i got it under there w/o cutting it.

awesome.. my p2r are powder coated so machining them is going to be a negative... grrr... shimmed hood ftl for me.. im going to try that cradle thing(hopefully doesnt damage anything).. only thing i can really see it tearing up are the axels
