JayCee Billet Deck Lid Stand-Off — Black Anodized, Ren Kafer Design (JC-2215-0)
The JayCee Billet Deck Lid Stand-Off is the original Ren Kafer race design. Originally developed in 2004 by famed PRA racers Buster John and Joe Maestas, it was engineered for the demanding world of Ren Kafer racing, combining aggressive styling with the mechanical clearance needed for serious engine builds.
High-performance dual-carb setups often struggle with clearance. This stand-off props your deck lid open by approximately 2.5 inches, providing the room needed for tall velocity stacks while increasing airflow to help cool your engine during spirited driving. Unlike basic stand-offs, the JayCee design is specifically engineered to let you maintain the use of your deck lid lock.
Why Choose JayCee?
Machined from premium 6061 billet aluminum with a deep black anodized finish for maximum corrosion resistance, every piece is laser-engraved with the JayCee logo — a hallmark of American-made quality and authenticity.
