Our new 18 R seems to have correct panel alignment.

Don't worry, just give the panels some time to ripen and soon it'll have the gap it's supposed to have. Right now it's still in green banana stage.

First 350 I've seen that the bumpers fit correctly. Anyone else with an 18 experience an improvement over previous model years?
I'd go buy a lotto ticket if I were you while your luck is running so good!! :D

I have one of the last 17s built and the gaps are very good. Much better than my Durango or my son's Maxima.
This is definitely a hit and miss situation as I have looked at a lot of GT350/GT350R's over the last 2 1/2 years and they certainly vary from one car to another.

I have one of the early 2017 R's built back in the beginning of June 2016 and it sits right beside my 2015 so easy to compare the two.

Body panel gaps on both of my cars front and back are just fine therefore I feel very fortunate to have them assembled that way compared to a few of my other car buddies.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Bro I tripped over the deck lid off that car earlier this week. Lol
Probably all that's left. Enjoyed that car - still fastest car I've owned. Especially pullied at 21lb on a 40 degree night. I almost built another motor just like it except I couldn't find the Ford GT cams for a fair price...When I bought them originally, they were from Ford Racing @ $419 - incredible.

I’ve had my 17 since May of 17. It sat at the dealership from October until May...so the panels should be “ripe”...and the gaps are pretty good after over a year and 600 miles.
