Default Question about the front bumper and hood of an ITR.

Always wondered about this:

Is the gap between the FB and the hood supposed to be this big?

There is some rubber trim that goes between the hood and the bumper so it looks like a gap but it isn't.....all though that bumper has been repainted. The front air dam shouldn't be yellow but black.

As already mentioned, the "grill" should be unpainted, not yellow. The hood/bumper-cover gap looks perfectly normal though.

EDIT: The more I stare at it, the more it looks as if there is a very small "dip" in the upper edge of the bumper-cover above and slighty to the left of the , but this is nothing that some slight tweaking or even some washers couldn't remedy. As I said, except for this very light dip, the rest of the gaps looks normal.

just take off the bumper and remount it.. the first time I took my car for a new bumper it wasn;t mounted very snug.. the second time around was a lot better. but yea that rubber peice in between the hood and fender can easily look like a gap from a distance
