Well... to start things off, I've never owned a crx w/ an LS/Vtec so I dont know where the hood is making contact and what its making contact with!!! I used to have my hood raised like this to be able to fit my strut bar/ and for looks but now I have an oem one so I put it back to normal!!! (my hood still is a B*tch to close w/ the oem one) Anyways, Its hella big out in Cali to have your hood raised. Some say it helps w/ heat temps under the hood but I dont know??? Anyways, here are some pictures of what I'm talking about!



Good luck w/ whatever you do! Cya... All you have to do is put about 3 or 4 washers under the hood brackets w/ longer bolts! I hope this helps you! Cya
