Misalignment between hood and pillars?

trbo1007

Mine is exactly the same. My dealer was tight with rep and pulled it from port.

Can you post a picture of misalignment?

I’m thinking that there are only a handful of 2018 Pearl White Sport Tech manuals produced.

2019’s on the website now. Difference? I guess price? Ours is $37,500 msrp and now you can get the touring sport tech for $38,800. So I am kinda bummed as the cooled and powered seats would have been cool to have but the 2018 was considerably more expensive and even more rare to find so.

Yeah. Will do once I get to my car (shopping with the wife). You’ll probably blame it on my OCD but it’s there. Not a big big deal but it’s just questionable.

I noticed the 2019 models also. Those may be mostly automatics. The likelihood of finding a PW in manual would be even more difficult. Were you able to negotiate a decent deal since it was a dealer trade?

Bubbaloo

Definitely. Well. They got it down to $36,200 but OTD was still about $39,000. Plus I added extended warranty (want to take it back now but too late).

You can probably back out of extended warranty if that’s what you meant. It depends on state law I think. Btw. My sticker was $38,725 including destination, paint, splash guards, and mats.

Bubbaloo

Oh okay. So I guess the touring now is just cheaper. My sticker price was slightly lower at 37,800 I believe. Yeah I’ll consider backing out from the warranty. It may or may not be needed but it may not hurt to keep it.

I include some pictures below. Maybe you can notice it. I may or may not have used the wrong wording on my title. Reason why is because I believe what is a little off is the plastic ends of the pillars themselves. You’ll see what I mean from the pics.





See how the left side pillar is a little higher than the hood? The right sight seems mostly okay. Let me know if you can notice what I mean.

I see what you’re saying. My pillar is slightly higher but consistent on both sides. I wouldn’t be conserned about it. These cars are screwed together really well. Look at the panel fit on a new mustang with a sticker approaching 50 large. No comparison.

Also, I’m using a roll on paint protection film to protect the nose, hood, pillars, mirrors, and rockers. Road Warrior Plus | Paint Protection that you ROLL ON! Car Truck RV Motorcycle Clear Bra. It’s water based. I have it on my Z which doesn’t get driven in the rain and my truck just on the body color bumper.

Bubbaloo

That seems pretty good. I’ll probably give it a shot.
Being a first time Z owner I just did not know what to expect so maybe my OCD is looking for imperfections.

I’m like you...lol. What’s the build date on yours? It’s on the sticker in drivers door jamb.
I’m a first time Z owner as well.

Bubbaloo

Lol yeah. It’s 07/2017. I was surprised the dealer got it in Feb 2018.

Mine is 04/2017. I picked it first week of November. It took 2 weeks to arrive from port in Jacksonville. Have no idea how long it was sitting there. The GTR mechanic did the PDI on it.

Bubbaloo

I wish I knew who did the PDI on it . Have you taken it for an oil change yet? If so, which dealership would you recommend in central Florida?

The reason I ask is because Nissan dealerships around here seem empty and just maybe even a little sketchy?

However I take my wife’s Honda Accord for service and it’s like going to the Lexus dealership for service.
