You realize you can adjust the front hood height at the latch right? Also you can loosen the hood bolts and pull it forward a tad.

That really stinks. I would say try and get your money back, but a lot of times aftermarket body parts all come with the disclaimer "may have to be modified/installed by a prefessional body shop". So it may be difficult for a refund, or expensive to exchange.
