Default CF hood came bent, advice?

I bought this Seibon CF hood. After mounting and adjusting for fender line up I shut the hood and the front left side is 1" higher than the right! I assumed it was being pushed up by something underneath so I remove the air box and a few other things that stick up even the radiator cap, no change. I unscrew all bolts and just lie the hood on the car, still up on the front left by 1".

Can the hood be bent back to normal by hand?
Anyone had these problems?

CF is not sumthing u really want to test for flexibilty.

if ur old hood was aligning properly.. then that means that ur cf hood should align as well, with litle or no modification. but if thats not the case... send it back.

but before anything..contact the company u got it from to assure that they will recieve ur hood for another one or ur $ back. goodluck
