Adjusting gaps between fenders and hood

[Kristian_Wraae]

I'm adjusting the fenders on my car and I'd like to know how much gap is supposed to be between the fenders and the hood and between the hood and the nose piece.

If you have a supra that has never been taken apart or if it is perfectly aligned I'd appreciate if you could give me those measurements.

Thanks

.200 thousandths all way around....even headlights and bumper......I took a caliper to mine just now but closet you'll get with a tape or scale is 13/64ths...hope that helps..each car will vary but thats the best I can tell you.

oops noticed your not in the US... So its ruffly 5.08mm sorry about that.

That's ok I had figured that out, but thanks anyway.

Is the gap between the hood and the nose piece really that large?

If you look at the pictures of my car in my gallery the hood is very close to the nose piece. Wouldn't it look silly with half a cm gap there?

yeah maybe but like I said every car is different..maybe my bumper needs adjustment...my bumper looks closer to the eye but with its downward slop it kinda tricks your eyes...bit yeah mine is 5mm all the way around give or take..20 years tends to play with alignment LOL.
