Default MPD Hood + Don Rome Strut Tower bars

I'm looking to get the MPD hood with extractors , but i have the Don Rome STB installed , does anyone know if the rear heat extractors interfere with the STB ? Thanks

I know some of the first runs of the STBs hit the stock hood so I would imagine that could be a possibility but I don't know with the MPD for sure.

I'm not sure what hes talking about , mine does not contact my hood at all and plenty of clearance , i wetted it and closed it and looked for transfer and there was none , But for the MPD hook i need to know if there is any clearance issues and how much , if a few washers solves it great but i need to know for sure before i spend 1k+paint on a hood lol

I would rather have a hood with a couple rub marks on the bottom side than a hood that doesn't line up correctly haha

You will barley tell im not talking the dumb import car ****. Im talking a couple of thin ones to get you just enough.my hood is spaced too. But for diffrent reasons. Arizona heat and the LS4 needs all the help in the world to get some airflow through and out the engine bay

I noticed in your signature you had "ride heightening springs" , Can you tell me what you went with , where you got them and did they stiffen the rear at all ? thanks

You use front springs in the back it effectivley creates a stiffer spring rate a keels the back from sagging.
