where on the hood?

you can use spacers and larger bolts to sorta offset the hinges of the stock hood. it sorta creates a cowl induction on the stock hood.if it rubs towards the firewall...this might work.

It's hitting the front of the motor...not bad, but enough to have me looking into my options.

You need to make sure the motor is mounted in the car correctly. In no way should you have that problem in a 92-95 Civic.

Put some washers under the bolts that connect the arms to the hood. Thats what alot of stang guys do to fit bigger intakes under the stock hood, it should work for your honda as well.
