Default hood clearance.

k so i got into a fender bender when i first got my car last year. i had to replace the hood and front bumper. my lid has been rubbing on my hood ever since, i even adjusted my hood latch up a little but any higher and the gap is all wrong and looks horrible. now i am wanting to go to an 85mm tb, 85mm MAF and 98mm FTP lid. but idk how to make it fit. is there any way to get more clearance?
