Default Need Help!!! [Trouble fitting aftermarket carbon fiber hood]

Hey guys!
I need some help, currently I have an ISF carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber fenders, bumper, and the rocker panel side skirts. I've tried fitting the hood onto the is250 however it would not fit correctly and lock into the hood latch?? (btw doing a is250 conversion into isf front end)
Would be great if anyone can chime in about this conversion!!

Never known anyone over the years that didn't have trouble fitting Carbon aftermarket hoods....they always seem to be a pain. Place called everything custom in Goodlettsville build a lot of trick cars...give them a ring, they might have some advice bud. Google number not sure.

Thanks Den!, so far guys the carbon fiber hood latch rests right on top of my hood lock latch mechanism, but it won't fully lock in place?

Just to clarify, you have a 250 and are changing it to an ISF front end?

Yes, I have an is250 and I have the Isf hood, bumper, fenders, and rocker panel to do the conversion. However I am unable to fit the hood correctly cause it would not lock all the way down.
