airbox rubbing against hood? well ever since i bought my car, the airbox has been scraping on the hood. when i bought it it had a whisper lid i think (the ugly one that says ls1) but i just got a carbon fiber one, and i dont want it turning to **** like the other one. i mean the other one was worn down pretty bad. any good fix that you guys know of?
also, my blinkers are really really slow, and blow out more often than normal, anyone else had this problem?

I'd like to hear some feedback on this one also...my slp lid that I installed not too long ago rubs my hood a bit on my WS6. I'll definitely be checking back on this post to see what everyone has to offer. So yep...my slp lid rubs on mine also

So far I've seen two cars that have the lid rubbing against the hood.. Mine does it too. I just ground a bit off the fiberglass on the underside of the hood w/ a file.
I have an SLP lid and my buddy has a CF lid.

I was wondering if i could cut or grind something down on the piece that the lid clips to. also, my lid doesnt even fit good. one side of it fits over and the other doesnt.

No, I can't see that it has changed in shape and I think I need to try heating and forming it again. I think it is either not touching the hood now or reduced contact. It's hard to tell since the marks are already on the underside of the hood from before.

mine did the same thing once i put the SLP lid on, bought a new superhawk hood and now have no issues....
also you find out anything about the blinker lights, mine does the same thing, blinks a little slow and seems like i am always replacing one of them every six months
