I have the VIS Fuzion hood and have marks on mine as well. BUT, I have a cover on the inside that can be taken off. Purpose of the inside cover is to keep and water from going though the vents. If you have one of these, try that. I have to keep mine off at all times for that reason alone, it screwing up my strut bar.

yep, thats about your only option. Or to dremel the underside of the hood, but I would just replace the strut bar.

I think the Crawford strut bar would work, for it's placement is in the lower front part of the intake. This is the route I'm going with shortly. I think it's a nice piece. Check it out.
