anyone know of a deck lid spring offset to use when you use the lid offsets- i saw one on the samba for close to 40 $$$ ---gotta love it offets-11$$ spring ext. 4o$$$ -or any tricks that you may have used-- i got a really long screwdriver that would work but want something cleaner-- what about hood hinges-- the shock looking ones--found on new dodge chargers--maybe too long ...

Just get a 71+ decklid with twice as many vents..

Then space it out at the bottom 2"...

Or were you adding the spacers for the look??

hi jake- i have the later multi vent lid- i was going for both -better cooling and looks-- i saw a spacer kit advertised but i want to close the lid-- they have the top kits its like 38 $$ a bit high-- i have to look around i can make a spacer .
