did you make sure that you did not engage the latch when installing the hood

hmm that seems weird, you have the stock lower air box right? shouldn't matter anyway and are you sure the hood is lined up properly like its not to far back and hitting the air box in the front

Is it a stock or aftermarket SS hood? My stock SS hood fits my '01 Z without any problem. Some aftermarket SS hoods are designed to work with different (aftermarket) air boxes, maybe thats what you got?
