Hood/fascia cutline
Hi all

I was put off by the gap between my hood and front fascia, and since I’ve noticed it in many cars on this thread, wanted to reiterate that it’s VERY easy to reduce, even for the non handy. A torx bit and 15 min and I’m a happy camper. Before and after.

Yes—simply loosen the torx/star screws that hold it in place, pull the bumper up flush with the hood, and retighten the screws. Super easy.

Yea I noticed that spacing also. It's a headache when washing the car because a lot of water seeps into that crack.
