: is this normal?

I was installing my new aftermarket parts and noticed a difference between the left and right front quarter panel. Right where the panel hits the hood on the sides. Look at the left and the right and see if there is a difference. On the passenger side there is a gap between two of the seams, on the driver side there is no gap... I purchased mine used, and the carfax was clean. Does anyone else have that gap as well?

Thanks

another thing to notice is the gap at the bottom of the grille. if you look closely you'll notice that the bottom of the grille that meets the top of the fascia is flush on the passenger side, but the drivers side has a gap.

I've never noticed a big difference between right & left, but I wish the gaps around the headlights/grill/bumper cover were tighter.

Why should that matter? It's not like we are talking about whether the dash is real wood vs. a plastic simulation. This is a matter of putting out shoddy work!! All the gaps on my Dodge Ram 2500 are the same, the wife's Volkswagen TDI are all the same, hell even my brothers POS mid 80's Datsun B-210 is all uniform!! It's not like these cars are from Russia and cost us 1000.00
