Body line question

[206GT350]

Hello guys! I picked up a used 17 GT350 in race red with white stripes on New Year’s Eve. I’m absolutely loving the car.

I knew about the body line issues buying the car but with all the excitement I failed to notice some major issues. The front bumper sits higher than the hood and it’s really bugging me. The hood also sits higher than the fenders. Is this something I could have Ford fix under warranty or am I screwed?

Thanks guy!

I believe it is a warranty item. There's only one way to find out.....

I have something similar. Do you a picture of the misalignment?

The hood sits lower than the bumper.

Bring it in - that's really bad.

That can’t be from the factory. If it is then that’s terrible. Looks to me like it was wrecked and repaired.

Yeah, that would not pass inspection even on a late Friday afternoon

Looks like it was in a crash, I agree.

I think we need more details. Like mileage, price, dealership, etc. I mean what kind of deal did you get on this thing?

Ya'll complaining about body lines - at least they're better than the original GT350s. Saw this at the Rolex 24. Decided I'd quit complaining about my rear bumper gap. hehe

Car was purchased with 3300 miles from Rusnak Porsche in Thousand Oaks, CA. Carfax was clean and the car is in like new condition inside and out.

If that ain't a warranty issue, I don't know what is. Take it in.

I inspected the car and I’m a pretty hand guy and I can’t find anything that would lead me to believe it’s had body work. Obviously I could be wron because I’m not a professional. The car did come with some upgrades. Ford performance lowering springs and maximum motor sports camber plates. I also noticed it had a tow hook installed at one point. I believe that required removal of the front bumper.
