Default Halltech Stinger

I'm in the process of beginning the install of a HT Stinger on 98 C5 and today I ran into an article on the CF noting that the hood won't shut correctly on 98's after installing the Stinger. The article was dated 2002, so I don't know if this is still an issue. Does anyone have any info on this? thanks mm

Well I have the Stinger and my hood closes fine. Now the bridge does rub the liner a bit.

StevieB is the only one I know who has had a problem with clearance. I'm guessing that for some reason, his radiator/radiator upper cover is sitting higher than normal. Since we're talking one out of hundreds, I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.
