My car's got some of that too and I see it plenty on these cars. They're far from perfect in that regard.

Not makeing fun @ all, your car is beutifull. Just something bugs me about that passenger door.. Especially in the rear to front shots on that side..

Yeah I see this alot with our cars. Mine was all uneven when I got. Spend some time and you can straiten them out though. I don't have ANY panels out of alignment on mine now.

(see nbm thread)

Yeah. I see mis-alignment on our cars a lot also. Mine has it a little, but it is where I took off the front facia to put on my 35th anv. grille.

I am not too worried about it considering when mine is parked it's in the garage

**SiggyZ** · 11-02-2009, 08:43 AM

And how exactly did you go about fixing these alignment issues?

rehung both my doors, made shims out of stainless in a few different guages (I never stack), and lots, and lots, and lots of time and pacience(sp). The only place that I could do nothing with was the spoiler area. It's not quite as wide across the area over the berger panel as I'd like, however the gaps on both sides are dead even.. I also never pry on a panel to get to something, such as a turn signal or marker..

**Smittro** · 11-02-2009, 09:18 AM

I've also been known to come unglued on any inspection shop that attemps to improperly lift my car, believe me I watch them too. ...And YES I am anal about it..

Mine goes in for the winter in climate controlled shop too..

That sounds like a ton of work just to adjust the panels at best a fraction of an inch. The only real nasty blemish on mine is the on the drivers side where the front fender piece meets the front of the door. There's a gap where the car was improperly put on a lift (prior to my buying the car). I had a body shop adjust it as best they could and the gap is a bit less noticeable, but one of the bolts underneath was stripped out and if I want to repair it completely, I'll need to have a completely new piece installed.

LOl as I said I'm anal about it (hate crooked shtuff) but honestly I love doing the work really, not really a ton of work just teedious(sp) and time consuming.
You also have to understand what it looked like when I got it. Not a single panel was properly aligned. The previous owner had to slam the sh^t out of the hatch to close it. Only thing I want to do now is get a heavier spring for the hatch release, hate having to push the bottom ten times only to find it's still hooked ugh

. With my keyless I can open my hatch easier buy pushing the hatch botton, and lifting it @ the same time..

Smittro, I know you aren't trying to be a dick, don't worry. If the passenger door is off a smidgen, I haven't noticed it in person. If it is off to a degree, its not enough that its annoying me. No car is perfect, even mine has a flaw here and there.

Hey Pres, you can call me Steve. Your car is flawless in my eyes, It could simply be the angle. I only seem to see it from the rear angle, (tail light looking towards the front). Could easily be the lighting, reflections, or simply my eyes don't work as they used to. I say stuff mostly to hurass you bud. Nothing personal @ all. "No car is perfect", is BS bro, cuz your's IS. If there are flaws in the finish I sure can't see them, and I've looked too lol. I hurass Jon about his having no mileage on it too.

Steve, nonsense, my car is not perfect, it has a couple very minor flaws that pics would not show. Most people wouldn't see them even, but I do know of a couple. No human is perfect, no car is perfect either.
