Hello all, this has probably been asked before but a brief search didn’t give me any info. Found a used stingray I’m very interested in but noticed on the pictures the dealer sent me there is some bumper/hood alignment. I know I’ve seen some other stingrays even brand new with some misalignment. Can this easily be fixed? Would it be a warranty issue? Sorry for the poor quality pics but it’s what I was sent.
I just took a look at mine and it's not the greatest fit. I doubt if it is a problem. There are only two rubber bumpers that hold the hood in alignment.
Also check to see if it has the radiator screens, normally the bumper gets removed to install these, possible that when they put bumper back on they didn't align it right. There are videos out there, looks easy to adjust

Hard to see what's not aligned from those pictures. Driver's side hood low where it meets the bumper? If the bumper is high or misaligned, alos be sure to check the fit to the headlights. Run a business card around the headlamp between it and the bumper & fender. There should be no tight spots where it won't slide through.
Gap looks great from top. Yeah I think you have a high/low issue you are trying to show from the pic I think. Checking for radiator guards is great suggestion. It would indicate a possible reason of why its not aligned. If so, not a big deal and easy to fix.
Yeah it's hard to say if its the hood or bumper that needs adjusting. Unfortunately the car is 200 miles away so I can't easily go look in person until this weekend at best. But from what I can find it may be able to be adjusted out.
