Default CAI Scratched my hood!

Damn JLT2... took the paint right off... must've hit every time I closed the hood. Anyone else have this problem? Should I re-prime and paint the area? Should I cut the heat shield so the CAI sits lower? DAMN!

If its the shield hitting I did have to trim mine also. This was something I noticed before it caused damage. I also had to trim it where it was to close to the brake lines.

It's the smaller end of the filter itself. I put a small piece of foam weatherstrip where it contacted.
