We've done this before. All this was covered in the 1st topic, which was also closed. Closing this one so hopefully no one does such an unsafe mod.

Yes big time... the hood no longer lines up to the firewall which in a front end accident prevents the hood from being jammed through the windsheild.

As Arron mentioned, this is just about the most un-safe modification that anyone can do on a FC.
