problem!!! I just bought a new ss hood for my z and like an idiot i bought it from an individual. The problem is is the hood hits the stock slp airbox when trying to position it. I really don't want to cut in the hood and i dont want to pay another 350 for a new air intake. Help please!

no, its a common problem with the SLP LID!!! my boy has a stock Z28 hood and it rubs, my boy with a TA it also rubs. I haven't came across one person with a SLP lid that doesn't rub. I think there is a write up how to fix the issue on here,
I bought the SLP air lid to replace the stock one on my SS (with SS hood) and had no problem with it rubbing or interfering with closing the hood. You might want to check how the SLP lid is mounted. Maybe it is sitting on top of something it shouldn't causing it to rise higher than it should.

Haha bob what im going to do is cut a t shaped cut into it which will allow the airbox to push through. If it all fits im going to make it where the hood just has an indent in it where the airbox lies. How do you post pics on here and ill put pics up when im done it all
