Fit And Finish... Fit problem?

I have a 2 month old G37XS coupe. It's my 4th Infiniti. While its just as perfect as my previous cars, there is one issue that is bothering me. Standing in front of the car, I can see that the hood-to-fender gap on the passenger side is slightly wider than the drivers side gap. I have never noticed this before on any of my Infinitis, and it doesn't speak well to the fit and finish of the car.

Has anyone else experienced this? Can the dealer make an adjustment?

they can surely make that adjustment, you can do that yourself too!

Is it a simple adjustment? I'd prefer to do that myself.

it is but you'll need 2 person to do this.

on each side of the hood you'll see a plastic cover blocking the nut for the hood, you'll need to remove that and use a 12mm ratchet to loosen them up so you can adjust the hood. really not hard at all.

another thing, if you need to adjust your hood up and down so it sit's more flush to your bumper you can do that too! each side of the hood there's a metal hinge or hook whatever you call that you can turn that to adjust the height. in order to do that you'll need a flat head screwdriver to pop off that clip and the plastic cover will come off then you can turn the hinge.
