Took a second shot at the left side again today. Had to remove nearly the entire bumper cover to get to the side mounting bracket which is simply too thick to allow the tabs to engage along the side near the tail light. I filed the black plastic down about .075" right below the last hook and...

The result looks great! Much better than my fix with the screws. I reduced the gap by about 30%, from 0.15 to 0.10" These are just stainless sheet metal screws, pre-drilled, then inserted while lifting the bumper cover via a well padded floor jack under the lower valence. Not perfect, but...

I am sure this is all true, and the same reason we have steel bolts going into aluminum knuckles for the brake calipers. There's always a trade off for cost. I remember, in a past life, when I worked on an air bag inflator in the automotive industry. The manufacture had a single penny framed up...

Wonderful, thank you!

Does anyone have the non track factory alignment specs for the 2015-17 GT350???

What size rear wheels and tires were used on this car to improve the gear ratio? The article is light on details that would be very interesting. Never mind, found it!
