Is this fender normal?
I am looking at purchasing this ISF and was wondering if this fender is normal cause it just looks weird.
It looks like the right side rear fender guard ripped a bit, but is there anything else?
Also, the side skirts look weird, the shape looks deformed, but I'm not sure because I never seen the side skirts of another F in person.
How about this headlight and hood too? The hood seems a mm or 2 more sunken in and it doesn't look flush. Looks kind of off I guess?
Are any of your ISFs like this? Could any of you guys confirm that these are actually normal besides the minor rip in the rear fender guard?
The owner is a doctor that is on usnews and bought the car at around 1.5k miles and told me no accidents. No reason to not believe him.

Anybody have any inputs on the right rear fender and side skirts?

OP - Easy fix. 19x9s up front and 19x11s in the rear with a fender roll and the right offsets and you'll never look at those things again. Oh, and a carbon fiber hood will fix the, once again installed and subpar, stock hood.

Welcome to the forum.
The fenders look just like the ones on my car. And the hood looks to be fitting somewhat better than mine.
From your pics, the car in question is a 2012 (or later) SFP. Great year & color if so.
Patience & knowledge will get you the best deal on an F. GLWS.

So go check for paint, rub your thumb nail where it meets the skin along any inside edge around the hood and the fenders (back of the hood by the wipers, and the edges back there where the fender meets that same plane. Painted cars feel gritty, no paint feels like ice. Also, look for turned bolts on the hood supports-it will be pretty obvious that a socket has been on them. Just because the history is clean doesn't mean it wasn't wrecked and repairs without using insurance. Finally, look at how all the panels line up, they should be dead even. Lexus and Toyota is far and away the most **** retentive when it comes to gaps. If they're off, something is up

Bump. My F looks very similar to this, large gap on both sides of the hood to fenders. Seems odd for a $68k car. 2014 with 14k miles one owner no reported wrecks. I will post pictures when I can get them, curious on others thoughts of if that picture above looks normal.

About the rear wheel well, for the Canadian cars there is a short piece of film (maybe about eight inches or so) just at the bottom front of the wheel well. Quite often when a quarter panel or wheel well has been painted the protective film is not replaced. If it is the same for US cars that is one way of recognising a non-factory condition or possibly a repair.
