Ok this may be stupid but i have to ask. How do you make your hood stand strait up and stay with no prop? I have searched and couldnt find it or was not loking in the right place. thanks

The proper way is to use hood prop shocks, like in this DIY.
I'm assuming when you say 'with no prop', that you mean 'without the stock prop bar'.

no i meen no props at all i have seen it on some cars they stand strait up at a 90Comment

Very careful balance.
The design of the CB hood and hinges doesn't lend itself well to doing this.
It's not going to just go up and stay like that. Wind will cause it to slam. It's unsafe.Comment

Find a 92-?? civic in a junkyard, jack the hood prop off of it. Take notes on how it's mounted to the car and the slots it requires on the hood. A little work and you can have another safe alternative to get it up to 90* without the chance of it slamming.

Yeah, those civic/integra props are awesome. I "found" one at a JY but i forgot how its mounted, lol.

Just lift it all the way up and lean it on the windshield, and make sure it isn't too windy out...
