In the process of putting together these easy to install hood lifts! Front plates are being cut this week. Wondering what kind of interest there would be in the kit? Feedback much appreciated!

That plate will be cool, are there other supports higher up in the hood? I built my own hood lift but I think every car should have the hood lifted, it looks so much better. I hope you sell the crap out of these!

The kit consists of the front plate, upper headlight housing mount brackets, lower housing mount cross bar, and 3 upper hood area spacers.

I usually absolutely HATE the hood lifts since most leave the headlights in the factory location, this I really like since you could also make a custom bumper that would sit higher and improve approach angles for rock crawling and hill climbing.

I raised my headlights and built a taller bumper. My hood is on about the same plane as the rear fenders

I'm thinkin it may stop more of the mud and water coming up the hood and looks awesome too.

Was just wondering how to pull it off with my HR bumper, thanks for the pic! Helps with getting the hood up over the bumper so blinkers can be mounted on the front edge so I can go street legal. Here is a pic tor comparison of how far this is

I will purchase the kit too. The hood on my 2019 is a terrible design. Will your kit replace all that or just lift the current one up?
