    First of all you need to get it off the hood latch, thats the the center and its a horrible referance point. Id block the hood on the corners the same on all four corners then measure to the floor of your garage. Then do the same with a metal hood. And see how much difference there is. Im not saying that its not warped it certianly could be but I think your measurements are hardly accurate if at all. X2 on the not using hood struts if seen people trash carbon hoods trying to slam them down with the struts still connected. Then they wonder why the alignment is horrible. Lastly if I had a GTX hood Id adjust the fenders, bumper, and headlights, around the hood! GTX hoods sweet id make every thing else around it fit the hood!

    my ascd hood fits 100% perfect out of the box, but it is new, only problem with it is i have to make a new loop for the latch because the one that came on it is a quarter inch too short.

    the whole latch is adjustable up and down if i remember right when i fixed the front of my sisters gp after blasting a deer. It move the latch up and adjust the rubber hood stops to keep it lined up nice.
