Yes, I had the same problem.
You can provide additional room by cutting out the black heat sheilding under hood in the area where the lines rise up. My under hood sheild was already worn so I removed it completely. The lines still touch lightly.

also be careful when the lines touch cuz on my car it pushed the lines with enough force to actually turn the nozzle about 45 degrees (make sure your nozzles are tight and are still pointed forward in the plate).....
I love TNT stuff believe me but the F1 plate they make needs some fitment work on it... My plate besides the lines touching the hood also had to have the water neck on the water pump ground down a TON to get it to clear.... The throttle body bolts wouldn't go back in cuz the IAC on the bottom was hitting the filler neck.....
They could easily solve the line issue by using small 90 degree fittings on the nozzles instead of having the lines loop around and come from the top they could come from the side...

my lines were hitting as well but I simply solved that with a ziptie for now to bring them down just a touch. Kinda tacky but I'm not one to start cutting my hood just to make it clear a 1/4 inch. I also had to grind the top of my thermostat housing so it would clear. Lastly, I made myself my own little bracket for the microswitch and screwed it down right below the throttle linkage. I'm no longer running the cover for the throttle but I can if I cut the one clip off of it.
