so i was back to square one... sad and frustrated at my bars that it would not fit.... so i called one of my machinists over and showed him my problem... after he looked at it... and in about 15 mins he goes... boss we can make this work... i looked him and said how there is barely no space for a bracket the studs are only like a inch and a half long and if we bolt down a spacer it would rise and my hood wont close... not to mention the plastic cant cover anymore...

the man leans over and says... well just take this piece out boss.... brothers i never knew that there was a factory spacer on the mount for the studs "insert boring convo with my machinist here" viola a SS spacer which will bolt onto the studs like the factory spacers and will have build in studs for the top secret bars, the man is an absolute GENIUS... lol now its just time for the waiting game... i needa wait for my dad to go vacation again and then me and my machinist will fabricate that bracket im freaking stoked.... as for my varis hood... i figured a way to cut the rain gutters... some fiberglassing and it should clear... alot of work ahead of me though.... but i should be able to keep both the loves of my life.... varis and top secret lol
