Unless the grille is pushing up on the hood (which is not good), you may have to adjust the hood bumper height to align it better with the rest of the bumper. That gap is way above tolerances.

lol @ azn_c300..
The grille isnt pushing up on the hood. Now that the constructive feedback has been received, I now do see a gap between the bumper cover and hood (never noticed it). I'm going to re-install oem grille & have my car looked @ at the servcie ctr.

white and whiter
that's a pretty significant gap, but the hood on the passenger side isn't fully latched. you need to close the hood with a little more force at a higher height.
it's the same thing with my 63 style grille which the sides prevent the passenger side fully latched unless you close it with more force. that and plus my hood is notably misaligned from the factory.
