I know what you are talking about. Mine had it as well. I think it is b/c it is fiberglass. I left mine. It really isn't that noticable once you get used to it.

Good luck!

I ground mine off. But then reinforced the leading edge with fiberglass.
Had to do some reinforcing to other area's because I pinned it and put Dzus fasteners along the sides.
Also used the stock hinges, without the gas struts, and Dzus'ed those to the hood.
Worked great and on the race car the fact that the fasteners show doesn't realy matter.
