Hi BD, I used some 3/8"X3/8" "D" shaped rubber molding I got on E-Bay to fill the gaps on the sides and front of the hood and also around the headlights.

The gap above the headlight is to allow cooling air to the ballast on the LED headlights.

Here is how it filled the gap on the sides of the hood. At first it was hard to close the hood. But after setting the car out in the sun and leaving the hood closed, it now closes just as before the installation.
