Default CF hood alignment help

picked this up 20miles from my house for $180bucks.







Its brand spanking new. the guy had it sitting for 3years he said and never used it. When i saw it, it was still in plastic with wood where the screws go.

Only bad thing is 1 side is warped and you can fit like 3fingers from the middle of the fender and in between the hood. i dont have a pic of the bad fitment. its currently under 100pounds trying to bend it with books overnight. The fitment on that sameside doesnt line up with the headlight either but when i push it down from the front (where say a hoodpin would go) it all seems to lineup pretty good so instead of trying to resale it, im thinking hood pins would fix the problem wonderfully right? Can anyone tell me about hood pins like are they adjustable so i can push the hood really far down and lock them to make the alignment perfect?
