Default Clearance between hood/hoodliner and FRCs??

Does anyone know, on a '13 GS Coupe, how much room there is between the FRCs at it's closest point to the hood/hoodliner?

There's a reason I ask...which has to do with a mod on an FRC potentially..

Is it an inch? Two inches?

Thanks for the help, gang!

I'm guessing about 2". I can put some silly putty on top of the FRC and close the hood. Whatever it flattens the silly putty to will be the distance.

Fuel Rail Covers. They look sorta like valve covers did on older V-8s. They're red in this picture: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...QEwAA&dur=8159
