That's very cheapest & easy way to raise up 'ur front hood...a bit... Another way is to mod 'ur original hinge by adding with somekind like gas absorber one i.e like the picture shown below.. The yellow thinggie one. Beside raises up 'ur front hood, it will maximizing the opening angle of the hood.. ;) But i don't know how much would tat cost... :P
