Is it just me or is your front bumper not sitting flush with your hood nearest to the headlights? There were no before pictures so I'm not sure if it was like that to begin with... Really stands out on the yellow in all of the post LCI front end pictures

Other than that, LCI really does make the front end look so much more aggressive

The headlights now are so much more aggressive.

Definitely not just you. That's the first thing I noticed when I saw the finished pics.

Cool LCI though.

I don't see what changed, except the new headlights don't appear to have LED indicators!?

Much - a big part of it is just the grills.

I don't see where the LED yellow blinkers went from the original to the facelift. I only see the two new LED horseshoe-type lights and the 3 yellow dots on the top corners. But where is the blinker next to the LED lights? Maybe I'm confused..?

The blinker is the long eyebrow looking led running along the top of the headlights. That changes from white to orange when the blinker is on.

Looks good! LED headlights + grill make a big improvement. However, I would change the taillights to the clear glass ones... The red/yellow combo bugs me...But thats just me

Goodness finally I am not alone!!
The silver strip makes it look cheap and the only reason why I didn't get the LED's though I love the square a lot more than circular coronas but I believe it matches the M6 and 6GC body style better!

Thanks
I though I was crazy -

@a.wang @gezi999

When I was tackling the NV LCI Front Grille retrofit I needed to partially remove my front bumper... your front bumper wasn't properly aligned when it was reinstalled, but it's an easy fix.. minor adjustment.

- Open the hood.
- Remove the hood seal strip.
- Remove the black fixing plugs along the front bumper/hood edge by partially lifting up the center pin to unlock it, then pull it up and out.
- Loosen all of the screws along the front bumper/hood edge enough so their washers aren't securing the hood down/in place.
- Position/align the front edge of the left side of front bumper and tighten down the screws to secure the bumper. Do the same for the right side.
- Close the hood, then use your eyes/fingers to check the gap clearance. It should be uniform from left to right, and both far ends shouldn't be pushed down.
- Once the clearance is uniform and looks good, make sure all the screws are in place. Make sure all of the black fixing plugs are re-installed.
- Re-install the hood seal strip, making sure it's properly seated.
- Close it up, all is good in the hood.

Is that hood/nose part suppose to look that way?
I see some alignment issue..
Looks like the LCI headlights shape is different from the Pre-LCI?

Car is badass, awesome color! But why the facelift? Kinda subtle and I'm sure it was dumb expensive.
