    Long story short...due to a minor front end collision, I'm going to be adjusting my front fenders tomorrow to get my gaps between my fenders and hood back to factory spec.

    Since I don't know what that gap should be, I'm hoping a forum member would be so kind as to take some measurements for me.

    Could someone please insert playing cards between the fenders and hood and give me a card count?

    That's the best way I can think of on the fly to be able to recreate your measurements.

    I'd really appreciate the help.

    Hmm... playing cards as a standard unit of measure. I kinda like it. Anyway, on my '10 the gap varies a bit front to back, but it's 15 cards at the widest.
