i purchased a telescoping hood prop and keep it in the trunk, not a big deal.

people may disagree but i noticed an increase in accleration. but i also did the cf hood and trunk at roughly the same time. the stock hood is a lot heavier than i thought. also a second person noticed the increase in accleration in my car.
