Default VIS Hood and duckbill fitment problems?

anyone had problems with vis c/f hoods and c/f duckbill spilers fitting on hatch's.
dude i know has like an inch gap the front of the hood to bumper. hood looks like its as far down as it will go to. it is fully locked in place. also the spoiler is hitting the very edge of the roof panel when trying to open hatch... anyone else with same problem?

hoods fit great.... duckbills are a bit different.. mine had so much gap, it looked like the grand canyon... but there was a lot of space on the duckbill

I've seen VIS hoods fit nicely on a car. As for the duckbill wings.... check out the pictures I took on one of our customer's cars http://www.jdmshit.com/EGduckbill2/

yeah my vis duckbill spoiler use to rub the top of the roof when i opened the hatch then i loosend the bolts a little and now it doesn't rub, the fitment is pretty good once you play with it for a awhile you can get it just about perfect, but it takes time and patience
