A little up date for those interested.
Worked for a few hours shimming the hood all kinds of ways and nothing worked to keep it from rubbing. When I got nice gaps the hood would always drop at the rear and then go back slightly before going up and rub. It is a very slight rub but a real problem.
I did find that if a put something at the corners so it doesn't drop the hood goes up without going back and no rub. Actually keeps a nice gap as far as I can tell by myself.
SpeedBumAuto has the Eddie Motor Sport billet hinges and says they look to go up without dropping when opening. Will have to give those some thought.
I will say the hood is a pain to put on and off alone.
