On my Gt, the passenger side is flush and a perfect fit but the drivers side sticks out a little. It's way too cold to crawl under there and see if a hold down bolt is loose or missing. Anyone else notice this on there GT's?

Mine is "off" a little bit. I don't know the reason behind it, but I've even seen it on a Shelby GT500 Anniv edition! Some sort of manufacturing flaw

As soon as warm weather hits, I WILL find a fix. I can't believe the tolerances are so good on the rest of the car and they let that crap go.

I've got a little difference between the cars but I've seen a few cars that were perfect. So, who knows ...

Build quality leaves something to be desired on Mustangs. Gotta love the car for it's strengths though!
