Default Dashboard/Gauge Question

I recently took my AP1 S2000 in to get Daytime Running Lights installed (I am moving to Canada). As soon as I got the car back I noticed a few things that made me think that they had removed the dash. They billed for 2.5 hours of work so it seems unlikely, but I don't know...

Two big things that made me think they had removed the dash and not put it back correctly is the gauges were not perfectly aligned...there is slightly less "black space" above the left side of the tach compared with the right side. The other thing is the clear plastic cover is not perfectly flush against the black gauge "tunnel" (i.e. If you run your finger along the bottom of the clear plastic, there is a gap between the plastic and the edge of the gauge tunnel.

Would other S2000 owners please let me know if their gauges are aligned similarly to this? I'm just not sure if these things were really a result of the work done or if I just never noticed them before.

Thanks so much!

dude it's hard a hell to get that dash off so i can see getting back on being a problem. but taking it off for daytime running lights? I figured they'd be able to tap into your lights from your keyless entry module which is behind you dash, right above your hood release
