these are very easy to do.. drill out a couple spot welds, remove a couple bolts, cut a little with a hacksaw and voila! you too can have a reverse tilt hood. the hardest part is getting the hood turned upside down, and then back on.

really.. it bolts to the hood, after a tiny bit of prep.

If I had any body skills at all, I would chop 1"-1.5" off my "A" pillars. I hate the way the front of the roof appears higher than the rear. ( i guess cuz it is)
