The trouble is, even a real SS is just an added on spoiler and hood painted separately from the car. The only difference between a "real" SS and a "fake" one is that the hood and spoiler for the original SS were painted and installed by SLP before the car was shipped to the dealer. Either way, your hood/spoiler were not painted on the GM assembly line with the rest of the car, and as these cars get older it seems to be common that the hood/spoiler paint on the SS models doesn't quite match the rest of the body (different fade rate I guess?). Hugger Orange seems to be one of the more noticeable color examples, unfortunetly.
