James, the gap seems normal from those pics. Maybe if you can snap a few further away it might help, but going from those, they are fine.

BTW, I have a CTR non-srs steering wheel

get a picture further away. Of course you are going to have a gap if you look at it an inch away from the car.

Hondas are known for notoriously difficult to align front pieces. Mine wasn't right from the factory, and without cutting things, body shops have to settle for these kinds of alignments. Only those of us picky enough to notice make a big deal of it (myself included).

Sorry, that may be the best you can get.

adjust the rubber screw on your passenger side for the hood... the passenger side looks too high.. lower it abit and you'll be mint

Those specs look pretty tight, some minor adjusting of the rubber stops under the hood might help a little. If you want to see gaps, go look at another 92-95 hatchback. They always have some sort of gap somewhere. Makes your car look like the Mercedes they roll the ball-bearing all over.
