Hey guys I just got done putting the front end of my car back together. And it seems like my gap is big between my hood and bumper cover. Please take a look. Could anyone please send me and or post up a picture with their hood up and a direct shot of where the top of the bumper cover attaches. Should there be a piece of weather stripping there or something.

Thanks,
Andrew

couldnt you also adjust the hood to be more far out?

The gap looks wide because the rubber strip is missing. Once that's in it'll look normal again.

I have the same problem with my car. Where can this weather stripping be purchased?

Yeah, you can probably order it through Lexus, or find one at a junkyard/used in the classifieds, etc.

Aliga/Gazi should have plenty of them. Just PM him.

That's a big gap, bigger than normal. On OEM bumpers/hoods, the gap is about 1/4" and filled in nicely by the rubber strip. Is that an OEM bumper you're using or aftermarket?

I have the exact same problem except my hood overlaps my front bumper

Can you adjust the hood in any way? My hood doesnt sit right either.
