Same prob here w/ a vis hood, hits the radiator mount, i adjusted the latch as far as possible, it would shut, but leave a gap, i pushed down on the pass. side, and it went down a good bit, just has a gap between the front bumper & hood, im gonna hit it up w/ a dremel this weekend.

there are 2 black nipples on each side of the rad support. screw them both in, and raise your hood latch

99.9% of carbon fiber hoods will require adjustment to get'em to fit right.
