    Mine looks the same :notsure:Aint bothered by it. In my experience, the dealer will find a way to make it worse.

    I just looked at both sides of the area in question...specifically, the passenger side.

    Took pics and compared with my Sport...yours is noticeably off. I'm glad the dealership is taking care of this flaw.

    I think the right-left asymmetry was designed in by Toyota to provide a slight difference in aerodynamic downforce to compensate for Taco lean.

    When people comment how anyone on the Toyota line can stop the entire process when they find a problem... seeing these stupid issues tells me everyone is just "send it" lol. Unless the final inspection stage guy is blind, this was noted as acceptable and shipped given how many of these are in the wild.

    OP, get your paint/bodyman to adjust the fender inwards to the hood. I can be done and that will hide the gap. There is nothing like factory paint.
