well have you checked all around the bumper - I mean all the little snaps and make sure the clips on the sides are connected good. I can see it, but it would just have to be something like that.

No car is perfect.
Just like your paired organs are not identical shape and size. Your eyebrows are at different heights.
You get to a point where you say "Its good enough".
But hey, its your car. Personally I was thinking that 3.2 TL emblem in the grill was what was wrong

I GOT IT! I know what's wrong.
Your brake tag is on the passenger side instead of the driver side windshield.
That is unless you imported a JDM Inspire and did a LH drive conversion...
Anyway, that gap IS indeed hideous. It stands out more since you have a light colored car.
Loosen the bumper bolts on that side. Then find a good hold on that side of the bumper and pull up or push up as much as possible. Hold it there and tighten the bolts real good.

me too...i understand it gets annoying because you know about it and can't help to look at it everytime you are around the car, but a minor thing like that should just be not bothered (easier said than done, i know).
there's a this thing i've got.... that hideous 4-finger-high gap between my front wheels and the fender
