Hmmm, yeah, I was just thinking about the height; I didn't consider that
it might stick out. I'll have to have another look at it.

Yep, I noticed that it is low in the right rear on mine too (when I was doing
a dry-fit). I got a couple of stainless steel fender washers to stick in there
which will hopefully bring it to level. As far as the rubber things go, mine
are plastic and they are sort of like a big screw; you turn them clockwise
and they get lower, counterclockwise and they come up. I had to play with
them a bit to get the fit right too. I'll be glad to get the hood on there
and just leave it alone and not have to play with it anymore. :-)
(I'm going to go in after work and see about picking it up; if I'm
lucky I'll mount it this afternoon.)

But I can't shift with my fingers crossed! :-) Yep, hopefully the
weather will turn good and they'll run a full 1/4 mile program so I
can whoop ya at that too! ;-) (I even have a plan: I will intimidate
you with my hood; you will feel inadequate, and in your rush to prove
yourself, you will redlight.) :-)
