Did you pick up the silver hood from the guy in Bedford? If so I picked up the spoiler from him this afternoon and they are definitly OEM SLP. Post some pics up when you get it all aligned. Mine will take some time as my car is pewter so it will be going to paint this week sometime.

He has a nice set of rims and tires too - if they were chrome, I would have taken them off his hands!!

You will notice that the passenger side rear corner is raised up a little bit - is there any adjustment in the hinge (up and down) or the fender (up and down)....

I can't see the pictures at work, but if you are talking about where the hood meets the fender closest to the windshield, then You have to slot the holes on the bracket a little if there isn't enough adjustment there or you can try and pull the fender up a little or a combination of both. Like I said I can't see the pictures, but I've done it a multiple times and its not hard it just takes a little patience. I usually don't mess with the hinges themselves unless its a last resort as they don't have as much play for adjustment so the work isn't worth the pay off lol!

If it doesnt budge, you might have to loosen the next bolt as well.
