[QUOTE=Tom Vogel;5830801]Maybe these shots will show it better. It's the same on both sides. The photo with the marker pen shows the gap is bout 1/2". It's just right in the middle where the 'M' in the GMC is (about 1/4"). The only thing we could think to do was to make a cut with a separating disk under the latch in the upper section of the grill, and pull/bend the center of the grill forward another 1/4", then move the hood forward about 1/8". That would help a little. How is everyone else's grill gap look? (Especially the original guys)

I think that's the only thing you can do, the grill is lined up well with the fenders. I'm not familiar with GMC's, is there a center piece at the top that bolts under the latch? You could enlarge the holes, push it forward, and retighten?
