The Harwood on my IROC fits like **** too. I spent many hours getting it as good as it is. I had to slot my hood hinges nearly an inch, and you can still see between the hood and the nose. The top piece is too far forward on the bottom piece.

My hood fits perfect, but then it was custom built. Even so, after about 8 years we were really starting to notice some shrinkage and warpage (caused by curing) of the flat surfaces, and spent a lot of effort getting it mirror smooth again when we repainted.
