hood clearance

Hey guys, I just installed a TII hood on my car, and It wont close/latch all the way. Does anyone know if the hinges/hoodlatch are different between a TII and N/A?

edit: Or does anyone know of anything that might be of a clearance issue for the TII hood, to prevent it from closing. as the left side (as seen standing in front of car) wants to stick up more than the right.

check the hinges, and also check the hood stop (the rubber things in the front)

try to latch it closed a bunch of times while moving the hood hinge bolts around slightly. should eventusally catch the right way. you can also try moving the latch around a bit like mentioned.
