Do any of your panels stick out?

I was washing my car today (stupid b/c it's gonna rain on Monday, but I can't stand a dirty car) and I noticed a couple panels stick out.

Like the front bumper panel right next to the headlights sticks out in relation to the adjoining panel. I managed to push it in somewhat, but it still sticks out a smidgen.

And the rear panel right by the taillights is the same. I never noticed it till today after eight months of ownership. Could it be it loosened up over time?

I find this rather odd coming from a reputable company that made my car in Japan. I never had this issue with my Acura...

Do any of you have this problem?

I have it too on the front bumper near the headlights. I though maybe I had done something wrong after putting my headlights back in but apparently it's just misaligned on it's own and not something I did.

My rear bumper panel sticks out on my driver's side tail light. I'll ask Infiniti to fix it tomorrow under warranty.

no, i never removed the front bumper. i thought it might've happened b/c i scraped the bottom of my front bumper, but then my read bumper has it too.

edit: i dont know if youve ever seen that lexus commercial with the ball rolling in between the car panels, but that would never work on my car. it would either get stuck or fall off b/c of those blimey panels.
