I just received my new Raptor and I noticed that the narrow body panel between the front bumper and the front grill has uneven spacing. Does anyone else have this issue?

My 2018 looked the same, like crap! My 2019 was solid until the front came off for intercooler swap. Now it looks like crap too. Those clips on the back are not attached well.

I noticed that on mine as well and found a clip wasn't inserted properly on the shroud between the headlight and grill. For you OP, grab a flashlight and look in between the gap of the left side of the grill and that plastic shroud towards the bottom. You may see a small plastic clip not inserted properly and it could be sitting over it instead of in, resulting in the gap on the bottom. I gently removed mine, bent the clip back a tiny bit and put it back. All is well now. My OCD couldn't let it stay. Hope this helps!

Mine had about a half an inch gap between the grill and panels. Saw it wasn’t clipped in. Tried to fix it my self and made it worse. Took it into service at the dealership. He had to asdjist the whole grill to shift it so it would clip properly. Took 40 min

Not a big deal.
