i bought a 98mm airlid from hawks.then i bought a trufiber a12 hood and guess what the hood will not close because its hitting the lid. what can i do without having a open filter in engine bay? right now i have a 4 inch stainless steel pipe from throttle body to airlid.


this is not the lid from hawks this lid is smaller. i have this one on now so i can close hood and it still hits bad

strange, i have a trufiber 4" cowl and it doesnt come close to making contact. May need some pics to see whats going on. Are there marks on the hood from where it contacts?

My pontiac

i put some picures on and u can see where on this lid it hit and the lid is stock size. the hawks 98mm lid wont let hood close at all

I found another thread of a user having the same problem. May just be one of those hoods. Many hoods will rub against the lid. I find it strange they wouldn't build it with clearance around the lid in mind but it is more of a stock style hood.
