Default Supercharger clearance

i seem to be having trouble with my V2. the hood is resting on it. im lookin at aftermarket hoods and looking to buy today. anybody else having this problem. its resting on the powerpipe and on the blower unit itself. most aftermarket hoods look like stock except for the middle of the hood. how can i fix this.

My friends car did that. It was hitting on a sunk down place that ran the perimeter of the hood. The performance shop just cut notches out. You can't tell from the top.

Mine did that. I just took off the cover piece under the hood, and I don't think it does it anymore.

It doesn't do anything except protect your paint from heat.... So when your paint bubbles up, don't blame me
