it will rub by the cam gears, take a dremel and cut out the ribs on the bottom of your hood by the cam gears

or, if you have the money. you can get a JDM Style hood because it bumps up in the middle area not down like the CRX's we have.. not sure where to get it or how much it costs though. just an idea.

I've read some people's installs where they mount the engine just low enough to clear a stock hood but then the engine is in the wrong spot. Again, if u have the money get a JDM hood, otherwise do the dremel thing

I've been seriously thinking about getting a ZC hood. Friends say WTF, you dont have a ZC.....

I like the way it looks; stock, but different.

Doesnt matter though, I do what I like regardless.....
