Or 3 miles at a time around the track. Says an “older person”.
I stop at the pharmacy on my way back from lapping.

yeah, that rubber seal is fairly prominent on these cars. Not sure why it's not under the hood instead of showing in the gap like it does, but its apparently normal.
A lot of it is the angle. If you are standing in front looking down at the hood like that, it's most noticeable.

kind of odd, now that i think of it, but yes, there is a rubber seal that sits between the hood and front bumper. now that im staring it it, its kind of an odd and ugly panel gap. but its normal, my car has it too. i remember the top gear boys roasting the lexus lfa for its hood panel gap, but thats more of a vent, the frs one is just a plain old ugly line


In my opinion, the hood seal only sticks out on the brighter painted cars like white. It technically does have a purpose on top of sealing that hood gap, it also holds down the top of the bumper to the frame with push pins. I think that's all they could do with cost and development.

The colour looks consistent, pearlescent is difficult to match and IMHO it would be very obvious if the car had seen some action.

I've gotten used to it, but it's one of the things I don't like about the car, and it doesn't appear to be fixed in the next gen.
