Default VIS hood with GSR swap

Does anyone else have this problem? I got my swap done and noticed a big *** gap in my hood on the right side (pass. side). What did you guys do to get ried of it, without using hood pins. Im going to get hood pins sometime this month but until then i dont want my hood flying up cause of that gap. Pictures if you can. Thanks.

how would getting a swap done afect the way you hood closes or leaves a gap? is is sitting high or something? i dont really think your problem here is the swap, try drilling the hindges from you car and just sliding the hood over

On VIS hoods theres a spot that hits the valve cover on the left side right next to the distributor. No one else has this problem?

It is a common problem with VIS hoods and gsr swaps. Most people shave the brace on the underside of the hood a little to make it fit properly.
