Bumber Front and back. Both front and back bumber covers do not line up with the rest of the body of the car - the fender is flush and fine and when you get up towards the front, the bumber seems to have a gap between the fender and bumber. Also where the Ram Air hood comes down, it doesnt meet right with the bumber. There is also a small gap under the headlights. I also have noticed that the fog lights and the turn signals arent exactly set in there right - What can i do to fix this problem? Also for the rear, there is a gap maybe about two inches between the tail lights and the bumber and the hatch has about half an inch between the rear quater panels...please help...

To find out if it's a legitimate WS6 car, just open the driver's door and look at the decal on the end of the door. If you find "WS6" in the RPO list, then you've got the real thing. If there's no WS6 listed, then you've got a clone. It wouldn't be to hard to add the hood, emblems and wheels and pass it off as a Ram Air car. Since your 'bird has Vette wheels and not the 17" WS6 wheels that would be another reason for it to possibly be a clone. The previous owner might have found it easier to buy the Vette wheels than to scour for factory WS6 wheels.
You're either just being a little overly concerned about the body panel fitments, or your 'bird has been wrecked at some point. I could pick apart the panel fitment on my 'bird too, but that's how I drove it off the dealer lot when it was brand new. Mass-produced cars that are affordable by the masses aren't going to be perfect.

If it is an aftermarket hood, then that more than likely explains your fitment problems. Most of the ram air hoods offered by the aftermarket aren't known for their fitment issues.
