Thanks for the explanation.
Natural metal fatigue is all. On a big surface like a hood the center naturally concaves a bit over time. When the margin for error in a new "taut" hood with the intake is barely a 1/16" of clearance it doesn't leave a lot of wiggle room to hope for--- even a hard enough road imperfection could cause enough shifting for the lid to get marred at that point.
