Whipple Installation Question
I recently installed a Whipple 2.9 S/C on my 2013 Camaro. After driving it about 50 miles I noticed the the hood liner has rub marks from hitting the S/C and the intercooler reservoir cap. See rub mark in picture below. Anyone else have the problem? I had my stripes painted in my hood by the dealer, could the dealer have installed my hood incorrectly or is the supercharger kit to blame?

Mine rubs too. Mostly where the reservoir cap is.

This is where my reservoir cap rubs.

I think this is common with the Whipple. I put a few pieces of packing tape on top of the Whipple in the front to keep the liner from rubbing the paint off the charger as I like to go to car shows and want it to look nice. The reservoir cap rubs as well. I have exhausted every source looking for a tank with a lower profile. Torq used to make one but does not now.

I haven't noticed the cap rub.
But the hood liner has the "whipple" lettering almost completely legible now.

Mine is doing that too. I contacted Whipple. They said that they recommend removing the hood liner because it could mar the finish on the blower or they suggest cutting out the liner where it hits. I removed the liner and the coolant reservoir cap STILL hits!
