After eating some cones recently with my OEM style front spoiler I decided to bite the bullet and install a Spectre as I wanted something with more coverage on the front and it was the only option I saw.
However, it doesn't want to fit. For others who have installed this spoiler how much did you have to bend it to get it to fit?
Out of the box the tips were bent inwards so right away I straightened them. However, I still can't get this thing to fit even close to the body. The inner radius at the fender extensions doesn't line up. Its like the entire 90* bend needs to be at a wider angle.

Also, the part of the spoiler that should be flush against the sheet metal (see red circle below) wants to just dig in and gouge my fender extension when the fender is lined up properly. The flange needs to be bent in more towards the bottom of the spoiler from what I can see.

I've already spent an hour trial fitting and using my vice to make small adjustments. I can't go any further without making the spoiler nonreturnable so I thought I'd check in with you experts first.
Thanks
