Default Ground effects. Dealer or Factory installed?

I've noticed my ground effects aren't "perfectly" flush in some areas. Is this common? I've never bothered to check other Z's. Seems the area I notice it most is in front of the rear tires (where the plastic protector piece is)

Anyone?

Mine seems flush to me but I will check again. Also it was factory installed to answer your question.

lots of times factory installed ground effects arent terribly flush, depending on what the make is. I have simliar issues with my Roush...i would imagine most of the more common makes (ford, chevy, nissan, toyota, honda, etc.) have the same issues, whereas more expensive makes like porsche do not. Although i dont really see what your pointing at in that picture, looks like the side skirts are suppose to stand off the door and quarter panels.

Mine are like that too. They aren't totally 'flush' but it's not bad so I don't mind. I've tried pushing it flush yesterday while waxing but that made no difference at all. In anycase you're not alone. Every Z i've seen has this "problem" too.
