Default need help with an aftermarket fiberglass hood.

if you live near garland i need help.....i know fitment is never as good as a stock hood but for some reason the corner on the passenger side near the windshield is raised about 1/2 inch above the fender line. i was able to mess with the drivers side and get it to sit just about even....what gives....if you live close please pm me and help me get this ****** to sit a little more flush....thanks.

Where in North Dallas are you? I recently put on a new hood myself, although mine was OEM.
