I have a 2000 SS. Is there any way to stop my hood from rubbing against my air lid? It looks nasty when i pop the hood and is causing damage to the paint. If not, then Is there a particular brand that fits without rubbing? I'm not sure what brand I have it was on the car when I got it. I recently upgraded to the FAST 92 intake and was debating on getting the FTP 98mm, has anyone had rubbing issues with it?

My lid does it too and I dont worry about it. What are you going to do? I dont think there is anything really. BTW mine is a FTP 98mm lid lol

my slp lid rubbed into the fiberglass before i got the car. it also has a smooth bellow and after trimming the bellow a bit and being sure to align the notches i no longer rub . however the pos only latches on one side still

iv got a slp and a trufiber hood. it rubs also. i adjusted the rubber stops and added washers to the bolts on the latch and it still rubs alittle. maybe another washer will do it

Older slp lids are known for this actually. Mine no longer rubs. I took a heat gun to it and gently heated it up and massaged it down until it didn't rub against the ss hood. If you do heat it up, use a wide circular motion and bring it down uniformly.

thats a damn simple idea, im surprised i didnt consider this. It does sound risky if ya get a little too generous

i have an slp on my 00 ss and used to rub but smooth bellows and a little moving around and adjusting did the trick.

my SLP lid rubbed, as well. Pretty common.

I just switched to a sheetmetal 110mm lid

oddly enough the dyno tuner i went to did a quick repositioning and he figured it out. i stopped the rubbing but it kept popping out of the one clasp, he got it to stay its been a week too. i guess practice makes perfect
