[Samsamsam]

Hi I have 2023. Got it like a month ago but today I notice that left front bumper seems like lot of gap compare to right. See pictures. Whats my best option
To add further I dont see any impact at all to cause that much issue in the car.
Any input is appreciated before I go to dealership
Also can I take it to any toyota or same one I got is preferred

Looks like your hood isn't closed all the way. There is a gap on the side too. This is exactly what mine looks like if both latches don't connect correctly. You basically have to drop the hood from a foot or so for it to close correctly.

Yeah the manual even states "enthusiastically drop hood from a foot away"

And they're right. I've tried gentle, always ended up with this crooked look.

And sucks because if it half latches, you can't just press down on the hood or you risk bending the light aluminum lol!

Definitely this. Happened to me one time walking back to my car, I thought someone hit my car and fucked up the bumper. Turned out it was me not properly closing the hood

Funny post lol. I was worried I broke something the first week with the car after I set the hood down gently and tried to press each latch in. Had the same crooked look.

Ended up dropping it down from 5-6 inches to get it to close evenly. Later learned in the manual that it is intended to be that way.

Fun to watch people wince when I just let it slam down.

( feeling in corner ) sorry was too paranoid cause I have two nails in 3 days in my tire so everything was making me nervous
Thanks closing from 2nd floor high helped 🥲

Just need to close it like you're slamming a door after getting into an argument with your significant other.

mine has a wider gap RIGHT in the middle, compared to the sides. I'm sure air gets in there at speed. Super annoying, but I'm not surprised as it's still a Toyota.

Yours seems normal and clearly a lot of us experience it, I drop mine from about 10 inches holding it either side of the middle and it’s fine, I wouldn’t go mad and slam it as there’s only so much aggression it can take

The front bumper fitment has quite a bit of adjustability. Loosen the 5-6 bolts on the top of the bumper between the headlights and you should be able to clean that up.

The front bumper fitment isn't amazing, im in a 20k mile 2021 and I have gone off at track but I have some slight alignment issues near the headlight and near the passenger door, but I imagine I can adjust it as needed, its just such a large hood I expect its normal, you don't notice it unless you're close up.
