Default Body panel gaps

Is it just me, or does the Magnum have pretty large/inconsistent body panel gaps? I especially notice it around the front end. When you start washing your new car by hand you notice these little things.

I noticed that when I am in the car, it looks as if the side of the hood, too the rear,
sags below the top fender line. It seems real noticeable only when I am in the car.

My car is #31 off the line. It is an RT in Midnight Blue Pearl Coat. Everything look very good on it, I was very impressed. Sorry to hear about the problems you are seeing.

Yeah, I have the same minor problem. I've also noticed the hood doesn't align perfectly... not real noticable, but when you're looking real close at the car you love you do tend to notice these minor blemishes.

I think overall the fit and finish is great so far. 4k in miles and no problems to report so far.

How do you know your car was the 31st made. Is there a way to look that information up by VIN?

My hood doesn't seem to align perfectly either (where the front of the hood meets the top of the grill).. Still love the car, but that kind of bugs me.
