The dealer will fix that.

Definitely fixable, but how do these things get past qc? There are some serious issues going on at the new p!ant.

Was it like this from start or after driving for a while it changed?

Well I can assure you that is wayyyyy out of spec.

This is covere under warranty but fit and squeak and rattle issues aren't handled quite the same so don't wait.

I would honestly be shocked if this came out of the body shop like this. It's really that bad. Looks like the hood was removed and reinstalled.

If I recall the gap spec woul be something like +\- 1 mm maybe 1.5 tops. This looks well outside that.

...Look at the fasteners holding the hood on the hinges....See if there is any evidence of shifting or movement...Good luck.

I remember Sledgehammers hood being similar to yours. I mentioned that on his post as he was having paint issues.

Well, The Gen 6 is much more car then the Gen 5 in many ways. IMO, worth the $.

Make sure they put someone on it with experience aligning panels. If all the other gaps are good, with just one bad it can be very finicky aligning them all.
