Looks good. Car needs to be lowered though.

I don't have any advice to give you as I don't have a Harwood hood, but it looks nice

Do you mean the hood gap between the hood and the front bumper cover? if so try adjusting the little rubber stoppers down (they just screw down).

I belive he is talking about the 1/2inch lip the hood has from the factory. Ive seen people leave it and trim it off. I thin kit deff. needs trimmed off.

You just have to spend some time adjusting each side and checking to see if there is any strain on the hood or the hood latch. You'll get it, just takes a long time.

If you mean the packaging lip that TPI383 mentioned that you're supposed to trim off, I definitely think it looks ridiculous.

I took mine off very carefully with a cutting wheel then sanded it down to get it very smooth and even, that part of it looks like the factory hood now. If you do this, just make sure you wear a paint mask.
