    Just got my car back from the body shop. Seems to me the gap between the hood and the front fascia is too wide. Mine is showing 11 mm of gasket width. Can someone take a measurement off of their car? Mine is a 2017, but not sure that makes a difference. IMG_0103.jpg

    Cars are never the same after an accident, and they get worse if you complain about the workmanship. They'll loosen all the fenders to help you fix the gap problem

    I checked my 2018 Prime. Never damaged, factory as-built. Gap ranged from about 5.8 mm to max of 6.35 mm at the nose. Measured with a digital caliper.

    Thanks all. Mine is a bit too wide for my liking, so I'll have them try to adjust it.
