^^ Looks OK there but it's hard to tell from that angle.

Im hopping that these cars are early production cars. MT have been teasing us for a while with this video. Lets go to our lucky members. Were these fitting issues adressed in their producton cars?

Production vehicles have already been found with paint drips. American quality standards have always been known to be shit though.

Wouldn't be able to see it from that angle. Pic needs to be lower more or less level with diffuser

So I guess the answer is no. I checked mine and the fitting looks identical to the videos.

However, I can honestly say it doesn't bother me in the slightest. You literally have to look from UNDER the line of the diffuser in order to see it. Unless you are basically on the ground looking up (and really damn close to it as well) it is completely unnoticeable.

I'm more thrown off about the aesthetics of the disconnected exhaust tips. :\

That's normal with a lot of manufactures now.

They act as heat shields more than actual tips, if you connect them they will heat up and melt the surrounding plastic bits

Well i guess i was hopefull that it would have been fixed prior to production models

Daaaaaammnnn

I'm almost embarrassed to ask but I haven't seen this addressed directly...

Do the GT350s have line lock like the other models?

Me too but hopefully it isn't noticeable, as he says. I just don't want to feel like my car is snapped together like a Barbie fun-jeep. If Ford wants to lock in the euro sports car buyers - they should nail down that fit/finish, IMO.

Euro cars are also snap-tite. Just the way things are these days.

I'd gladly take a few exposed screw heads rather than hidden plastic snaps, but hard to find cars taking that approach anymore. Maybe an Elise...

Yes

The two pieces don't even appear to have the same arc dimensions. The bumper is more open than the black plastic insert. Hard to know whether they designed it this way with the expectation that the pieces would "pull together" upon assembly, but wow. That's just really, really poorly done.
