Yup. It's all perfectly flush, everything lines up, and the gap between the door and fender is a consistent width all the way down.

Im always checking my car for any minor imperfection. I walk outside to take break from work in my lovely fr-s when I notice my panel under my left front headlight is lower than the other side and the clips in between the panels are exposed, I tried popping it back in but did not have any luck. Tack up yet another thing that makes me sad about this car. Body panel issue, CHIRPING, Tail Light condensation, (not a huge issue but,) window marking/scratching, Windows scream when wet and rolled down or up this, this pretty much makes your car look so cheap when your windows screech. love my fr-s for style and driving but the bad far exceeds the good lately..

Thread back from the dead... I've been noticing my fender/door gap getting larger and larger... next visit to the dealer I am going to point it out.

It does that. It will go back. I get this after Autocross. It goes back after some time.

I noticed it about six months ago and it has slowly gotten worse as time went on... I don't think it is going back.

I haven't fixed mine yet... but if you read through the topic I think someone else did.

Toyota Service Bulletin: Body Panel Fitting Issues
Quote:
Here is the fix for this issue. Open the door and locate the lower fender 10mm bolt seen here Attachment 80179 This bolt is loose causing the fender to not stay flush with the door For the passenger side loosen up this bolt, close the door and carefully push the fender to make it flush, then tighten the bolt. The driver side is a little more difficult and requires two people, one to tighten the bolt and the other hold the fender in place. If you try to tighten the driver side bolt without holding the fender, the fender will bow out even more. First loosen the bolt, then have the other person very carefully push on the fender to align it with the door. Do not push the fender to hard or it will cause a dent ( they are very thin). Have the person hold the fender in place while you tighten the bolt. I did this fix last week and it's still flush. |

The body lines on my fr-s are sure arent as perfect as they should be.. I dont really notice unless I look closely but I mean for a car with 16K miles on it the panel gaps should be perfect!
