I know your car hasn't been wrecked.... It's funny how people can misinterpret posts and email on the 'net so easily. It never ceases to amaze me.
A:

Spoonieluv, note:
You're unusual in that you noticed it *before* your car got wrecked. Most people only start looking for such flaws *afterward*.
I hate to flame but I can't turn this one down -

With a stable of three overly used ones, you're probably happy just to have one of them running.
What's your deal today? You're snottier than usual.

MIne Z is like that too, so is my bimmer....don't really care.
A:

Panel alignment is one of the things I look for on any car of mine. If they're not even - everywhere - then something's wrong.
I've been fortunate with the 3 brand new cars I've bought. All had good panels.
Sorry about yours, spoonie. You didn't mention if the hood is off up near the passenger seat. If it is, you have a skewed installation. If it isn't, you have a bad hood.
Good luck.
A:

If I have a bad hood, is it OEM????? Anyway to tell? What if the car WAS hit and they replaced the hood. Someone?
A:

Maybe by buying a Carbon Fibre hood would solve your problem and give you an added weight saving benefit.

Have somebody follow directly behind you on a straight section of roadway. Have them check to see if your Z appears to be traveling with the rear end shifted slightly to the left. If so, the car has been hit ! A local bodyshop GM told me once that ~ 20% of NEW vehicles have some sort of exterior damage repaired prior to sale. Perfectly legal and no disclosure required as long as the repairs don't exceed state NEW car repair limits. ( Also, having a " cooperative " bodyshop helps keep the bill down ).
