Misalignment between hood and pillars?
 
Hey guys. I recently got a brand new 370Z sport tech pearl white M/T. In love. But! Quick question. (First time Z owner), I noticed the hood is not perfectly aligned with the A and B pillars. I know the pillar outside pieces (the end part that meets with the hood) are plasticky, not sure if that’s the issue as you can move them a little bit easily with your hands.

Any takes on this? She had 8 miles when I bought it. So... anything to worry about?

Not too worry you, and I mentioned it on here before, depending on the state you live in, there can be undisclosed damage that has been repaired, depending on how much or percentage.

No misalignment anywhere on my ‘16 Nismo. Actually, it’s the car with the best panel gaps I’ve ever had. But being a previous ‘03 Corvette owner, my standards may be extremely low.......lol.

I experienced misalignment on my '17 Sport - different areas.

My hatch door would not seal and the hatch-to-bumper cover gap was excessive, even after adjusting the lock as far down as it would go. I had to "make modifications" to get it right. The top leading edge of my passenger door sticks out past the rear fender enough to notice as well .. I left that alone. Every thing else is diamond.

No prior collision damage to mine either … I was kind'a surprised Nissan let it out of the factory that way.

It may be just that. I was just a little surprised. Guess I’ll have to stop looking at that.

I have the exact same car and mine is perfect all around. The only thing I see on mine is the passenger window drops a little more than the drivers.

Was yours in dealer stock, dealer traded, or pulled from port?

Lemon. Lol

I would bring it back. Mine are fine and should be really tight on yours

if its brand new, i'd go back to the dealer

IIRC, the hood alignment can be fixed be loosening the bolts and retightening after adjustment

Do you know what dealer? The only white one I knew of per Nissan inventory was up in Maryland.

Mine came from Ed Martin in Indianapolis. I got it dealer traded to Florida.

Wow! That's quite far for a dealer trade. A couple of weeks ago I checked inventory and there were 11 Sport Tech manuals nationwide. Rare model for sure.
