Does it really make that much of a difference unless you have an LET under the bonnet?

is there a noticable difference once you have put them in? other than the heat loss, i mean can you notice it is higher?

just space out the mounts at the back, use thick washers or some sort of thick bar

Definately gets hot air out, also has beneficial side effect:
Air in through grills at front goes out over top of car:
more air over top of car = less air under bottom of car = slightly better stability at speed.
