Phenolic spacer just a gimmick?

[USMC302]

SN95GT19, just find a peice of wood or cut one in a cube 1 inch by 1 inch and place it on top of your intake, gently lower your hood until you feel it catch on the wood or keep going until it closes, be sure not to force the hood down on the wood or whatever you use in order not to dent the hood. I honestly to not think it will work, in addition, if it does it will be very close to the heat insulator on the underside of the hood, you should wither cut the intake shape out of it or remove it completely to avoid a fire or staining your upper intake. Good luck!
