No, it fits like factory. Even under the carbon hood it fits.

for the factory hood it will clear the engine but certain carbon fiber hoods won't. just ask eg forum moderator b18c5-eh2(Tom) about his carbon hood with the hood clearence issues. in fact he has a thread that talks about this problem.

That usually depends on the mount kit you use. It can always be shimmed down slightly for a little more clearance if needed.
