Darn SLP lid rubbing the hood. Any ideas? The SLP lid is rubbing and looks like crap 
. Called SLP and all they said was to raise the hood stops and to me that would look tacky with the hood being higher than the bumper. Thinking about shaving down the top of the lid or maybe just going back to a stock lid or an open lid. Anything that doesn't rub. Anybody selling a stock lid??

SLP prob does it on purpuse, then they can sell you an UltraZ hood to fit over it. lol
That hood does have a hell of a lot of clearance up front though. I put the WS6 raised lower airbox on mine with a direct flow lid, still plenty of room above it.
