Short story:
Brought the car into a local shop to paint the front bumper grill. Got the car back about two weeks ago and it was parked in garage, until today. When I drive the car in daylight, I noticed that the fender seems to be not lined up correctly. The gap on one side is slightly bigger than then other. When I open the hood, I noticed that the mounting point on right and left are not properly bolt on. Would it be possible to provide some insights? How does it compare to your OEM condition?

Also noticed a cable tucked behind the bumper. Don’t noticed it before. Is this also normal?
I got the same issues and where they were not quite lined up, took it back to the dealership for readjustment. It looks a lot better but still not perfect. Those mounting brackets looks about the same as mine too. I also had the dealership repaint my front bumper.
Just found out that my front bumper is definitely not lined up, after checking on the side. Will need to bring it back to the shop and have it re-installed.
