And I am not talking about the alignment either...one of the tape lines looks crooked.
I noticed that too, a couple of them do.

I'll check them, but 1/2 masking tape was placed, then removed after next piece applied. Shoit is not from straight on, so it may appear distorted....but I'll check. I do want it right (and I'm about half blind, whihc complicates this kind of work!

I used a red arrow to the area's that I saw looked off, it looks to me the lines cut inward a bit at the bottom, you know the top bumper trim is off, and the large strip on the bottom bumper trim looks too short.

I think that is just perspective. You are looking at a 3D object, in a 2D image.... things aren't always what they seem.

Plausible.... Perhaps a video of the front end would confirm or deny....

I measured it a few minutes ago as I was climbing under for the condensate drain backing up and getting carpet damp today......and it is off about 1/16"! I think it may be airbrush time this weekend...Thanks for catching that! Good eyes!

More depends on your area. Here in NEO, Ive seen just one door for $350-$400. So, for here, I think its a pretty decent price.
