Cut it off with a die grinder or electric grinder yourself and save the money.

A friend of mine has a 1972 Cutlass that he installed an aftermarket W30 hood. The hood was fiberglass and the rear edge was so thick I had to cut off 1/2 of the thickness with a die grinder so he could use his wipers without the hood hitting the wiper arms. I did this with a piece of tape on the edge as a guide and cut off over 1/4 piece of the rear edge of the hood then sanded and painted the hood and you could not tell it was cut.
