gap on front end

I just had minor autobody done on my fender and front grill. In which they had to remove the whole front piece(they didn't remove the hood). But I now notice the gap between the hood and the front grill is abnormally wide... but was it like that before I took it in??? Everything is very lined up(head lights, side markers...etc). Can someone check there 8's and give me peace if mind. Thanks everyone!

That gap likes to change when you take it on and off.

you can have a pretty big gap if they don't get it lined up reight and in the knothches for the corner markers.

Check out another RX8. If you don't like what you see..... ask them to re-attach the front bumper again to close the gap.

thank you for your reply Razz1... I will definitely take it back to the body shop to do it again... I hope they don't screw something else up while doing this!
