Default is it just my Z or is this flaw common?...

i noticed today as i was waxing my car that the fender and hood are not flush (the fender seems like its a bit higher than the hood) on one side of the car. I'm not talking about the gap between the hood/fender, rather, i'm refering to the height of one in relation to the other. on my passenger side, things look right on, but on the driver's side the fender seems to be a bit higher than the hood.
have anybody else noticed this or is it just me???

I've noticed that for a while now, but you might want to check out your headlights. One of them is flush and the other is sunken in just a little. The beams from the light are lined up properly, so I didn't worry about it too much.

"rbagget". you are right....one of my headlights looks like it is sunken in more....seems like things are not lining up evenly.
can you guys take a very close look at your Z's and see if this is the case with your cars? i would like to know if this is normal before i take it to the dealer
