67 Dart leading edge hood trim

At the Body Shop today we checked out the 3 piece trim of the front of the hood. No matter how we tried it was not long enough. the fit on the curves were great but it left a gap on each side of the hood between head light bezels of about 3/16 to 1/2 inch...keep in mind this is a N.O.S. hood. The trim was purchased from an East coast vendor.
Who I shall not name publicly (if you want the name e -mail me at [email protected]) naturally its going back..
what is your experience on correct fit from vendors on this trim??
