Well I figured out how to use the stock hood struts with the new carbon fiber hood. I went and bought some square tube aluminum 1"x1/16" and cut it in half. I marked the spots where the hood bracket and the strut bracket bolts would go and drilled the holes in it. It bolted up great and there is no gap.
I had to notch it out a little bit for the strut bracket
And I hade to notch the holes in the strut bracket so the holes would line up when it was inside the square tube
