Could you slot the hinge where it bolts to the hood and/or put some washers between the fender and the hood hinge to push the hinge in towards the center of the car more to gain some clearance?

Glasstek stuff is usually very good. I have used their stuff before and the fitment has always been top notch. Maybe before modding the hood, call them on Tuesday and see if they have some advice. Is the hood painted yet?

Yah, the hood is fully painted. I bought it off of a person who said they had it on a car before. The hood already had brackets on it. Thanks for the ideas. I grinded the hinges so it doesn't hit anymore but the fitment still sucks. Gaps are huge and the top of the hood sits too high over the fenders. I'll get some better pics for you. Thanks for the suggestions.

the hood definately needs to be adjusted from what i can tell. on mine i had to grind a bit off around the hinges so that it would fit snugly and sit flush around the hinges. tory informed me that they always leave extra material so that all their hoods can be trimed for a perfect fit.
