What do you mean it doesnt align with your bumper? I have an aftermarket hood and it doesnt align perfectly, it sticks up on the pasenger side a little. Where exactly are you having trouble?

No offense, but I'm not sure I can really understand what you're saying because your spelling/grammar is a little difficult.

But if I'm not mistaken, from what I was able to pick out of your post, it sounds like you just got a 4-dr hood. 4-dr hood noses overshoot the top of your front bumper (near the latch) by an inch or two, and may sit kind of high on the mounting brackets.

There are two hood stops to align the height of the hood on each side of the engine bay. They are basically screws with rubber on top of them. If it sits too high at the front, simply screw those things IN and that should lower the hood and allow it to align with the fenders and have a smaller clearence between the hood and bumper.

Oh yeah, good suggestion. I did this when I had a 4dr hood one of my EJ1s.
