They only rubbed on hoods if they weren't pushed back far enough. The lip actually goes on the inside of the base. Mine was a factory option on my SS and it rubbed until i loosened up the bellows, and MAF, and slid it back far as it would go.

Every single SLP lid I've seen rubbed. And they rubbed on every f-body car...Z28, SS, T/A. Yes they were installed correctly.
Back to the original question. I have no idea what the "re-designed" one looks like. Call SLP and ask them to tell you what the difference is.

I do not know if visually you can tell the 're-designed' SLP lid from the previous ones.
I have the 're-designed' SLP Lid. It seems like it uses a different type of plastic, but I believe it was constructed to have a more complete seal. I know I spent nearly an hour with a hair dryer to get the lid neck to seal around the MAF.
It is a pretty tight fit with the air filter also.
As far as rubbing..mine does not.
I agree there is no 'magical' lid. I'm happy with it, but you probably can not go wrong with any of the big-name lids.

I also heard that they redesigned it but I'm not sure how to tell the difference between an "old" one and a "new" one.
