Regardless of whether is factory or aftermarket, it's a horrible installation job - the gap between the bumper cover and the hood is about twice as large as it should be. Was the car ever in an accident? Maybe the hood needs some alignment work; either that or the bumper cover needs to come up a bit. Based on the side shots, you can see how the gap to the fender increases from rear to front. Looks like the front bumper cover is sagging or something. Love the face lift look when it's done right, but this one's not there yet.
