Rep Power: 324 SLAM THAT ISH !!! when i had my 01, i used to get my forearm stuck under the front end if i dropped a bolt to the ground while under the hood.
just be careful when u drive, thats all. i ran the hayame coilovers, so if i ever felt like i was in a jam, i could have just raised it up

Rep Power: 0 I recommend you leave a finger gap unless you want it to continue rubbing against your inner fender well and take wider turns. I think 1.5 to 1.75 is good enough.
