Are these panel gaps acceptable

[Spork3245]

No your MY 2007 is old and a prior gen. I said gaps are “common in recent years”, meaning in recent model years.

I don't have a 2007, I quoted the poster responding to you, sarcastically pointing out that he missed the part where you said "recent". :headbonk:

AFAIK, S550s have been a bit notorious for inconsistency in regards to panel gaps and paint quality. My 2001 New Edge and 2013 S197 were perfect, my 2016... well, I've never had a car have this many chips in paint in just two years before
Sure, there are S550s that are "perfect", but a substantial amount seems to be... well, "not". I hope this changes with the 2018s, haven't heard/seen much yet, though.

Got it thanks. How are gaps on your 2016?

I have a 2017 GT and the gaps are not great. You would think that after 3 years in production, they'd get it right.

Uneven :lol:
Not terrible by any means and each side on its own is even, however, the gaps on some of the driver side are different than the passenger side. Glad I leased and hoping my 2018/2019 is better :lol:

Just fix the gaps yourself....

You may have a few hours, while the people on the line have 45 seconds.

I know there are generally panel alignment issues with our cars, but what are your thoughts on these gaps

Yea don't worry I have a '17 gt and my rear bumper gaps are the same as yours.
