Hood clearance does not exist with a VH45. You either:

3. Run a custom hood, cowl, vent etc. Even the origin hood wouldn't work. = Ghetto

I did option #3 when I was VH, now I hate it as it serves no purpose on my LS swap. My VH lasted 100 miles before it blew and I fucked up an awesome brand new chargespeed hood to make the custom hood. But at least I had no parts sticking out or hood spacers.
