Other than finding a non-warped one? Most have some warpage because of the hood springs trying to push that area up. Some not bad - others much worse. I have heard of people taking the hood off, store it flat and place heavy weights on top - both sides and leave it like that for weeks.
Or ripping it apart and adding reinforcements to that area and re-fiberglass it.

They all warp, some remove the springs and use a prop rod. I use the light springs and put 25# lead shot bags on top of each side when the car is parked. Leave it in the sun with weight on the hood, maybe it will flatten out, then use the weights then on.
