Default Firehawk compatible lid

I currently have an MTI clear lid on my Firehawk and it rubs the hood a bit.... which I don't totally appreciate. Is this a known compatibility problem? I read that the TSP lid is pretty good, but my concern is fit.

Thank you in advance!

I know i have a Camaro but my STOCK SLP lid rubs on the underside of my hood too.
The Hard bellow seems to be the problem on mine. When replaced with the accordian type it does not rub. Mybe check into that before replacing the lid, as it's cheaper.

I use a volant on my 02 hawk. Fit great no problems-but I don't see to many people using them.
