I've had my car for almost a month (new '07 TL), and I've been noticing a gap between the hood and the bumper. Not very big, but not what you'd expect on a precision-crafted automobile.



Another view:


I found that I could grip the bumper and move it up/down, just a little bit - not enough to close the gap entirely, but certainly a bit of movement. Does this suggest a problem I should take care of?

Also - possibly related, possibly not - I noticed the radiator was quite loose. I assumed this was part of the design, but now I'm not sure. I can move the radiator back/forth by at least half an inch - I can hold the rad cap, or the water pipe, and easily 'rock' the radiator back and forth.

 

The gap in mine is the same as yours. I think it's normal. If you look around the bottom of the headlights there really isn't any room for it to move any higher. I don't know about the radiator though.
