I noticed yesterday (for the first time...) that the alignment/fit on the panel between the frunk and the bumper seems WAY off. Not sure if its the fender panels that are misaligned or the piece running horizontal between the two. Driver side seems "pushed in" a bit, while passenger side is "bumped out".

Is anyone else seeing this or having this issue? Reached out to the dealer to have repaired. I can't UNSEE it now :( Red circles passenger side, yellow circles driver side.

Had that exact issue on the passenger side as well. Brought it to my dealers attention, they ordered a new brace and replaced it. Said it was “warped” from the factory. Hit up your Dealer. 🤙🏼

Mine was even worse. I removed the piece halfway, on the passenger side (2 screws in the fender) and noticed it wasn’t seating on the clips properly. I reset it and now it’s better than your pics but still not perfect. But good enough for me.
