Take it to someone that glasses. I had the same issue and this is how I fixed it. I masked off the portion of the hood that the scoop rests on (to protect the paint on the hood from the resin). Then laid up about 1/8" of glass on that masked off area (it was about 3 layers of 2oz mat) to make a "flange" that matches the hood's contours. Make sure this "flange" is at least 1" outside the footprint of the new scoop. When the glass kicked, I pulled this "compound curved" sheet off the masked hood. Then I mocked up how the scoop would fit onto this fiberglass sheet, marked it all out, cut off the appropriate parts of the scoop to match the shape of the curved glass sheet, and then bonded the two together (inside of scoop to topside of the sanded flange). Since the sheet was laid up to match the curves of the hood, the new "flange" will now allow a perfect fit. This is an oversimplification of what I did, but a decent fiberglass guy will know all of the ins-and-outs of this and be able rough it in in one day. Bondo and finishing should take another couple of days. When finished, it will look like it was made for the car (and use aluminum rivets, but I suppose you knew that already).
