bad oem fitment on doors hood ..
so i had this problem with the fitment a long time now
and im coming to a poing where i have to paint my car ,
and now it bothers me after painting the car , the same problem is stil gonna be there
this is not normal
the other side looks perfect
its like that with my other CF hood too
anyone know what could be the causeing ?
and the doors..
a little gap between the door and front fender meet , look like its poping out
its like that on the other side as well
and the front point of the fender where the headlights meet
both side as well
all this is bothering me
is it a thing that body shops can take care of as a normal thing with out going custom fix ?

As for the fender, it can be fixed as you presumed, just by taking bumper off and readjusting it.
When you take it off youll notice 2 bolts that bolt it to the fender. Just loosen up those bolts, adjust accordingly, and then retighten the 2 bolts. There is a third bolt that bolts a bumper support bracket to another bracket under the lights, but leave that one tightened as you shouldnt have to loosen it to adjust the front 2 bolts and bumper.
Hope that helps, and ill get back to you about that hood.

My only advice to you is pretty much common sense if you look at the parts.
First, on the door, make sure all the bolts connecting the door flange to the door and the body are tight on the both flanges.
For the hood, make sure the rubber bump stop on the side sagging matches the stop on the other side. These stops are just pushed in to the hood. If need be, buy replacements, pull out the old ones, and throw in new ones. they shouldnt be too expensive and are very easy to replace, so why not. This is the only possible problem i could see with the hood.
On many cars, these stops are adjustable (screw in and out) according to desired height. Ours are not, they are just an all-rubber stop, so this could be the only problem i can see.
I would hope you have figured this out on your own, though, by now...like i said, its all common sense if you look at the parts.
