Default Fender alignment

I have noticed that on most C5 vettes the fenders are not properly aligned with the doors and hood. Mainly it is the line between the fender and the door. How many people have noticed this and how did you go about fixing it?

thanks,
Mike

Most of the ones I have seen were like this. I guess you could adjust the body panels, but I'd question it being worth the effort.

My hood doesn't line up with the back of the fender by a quarter inch down at the back. I have to use shims all the way down almost to make perfect allignment. It's about 95%.
