Fender-Door Gap!
Fender-Door Gap! What do you guys think? Is my fender-door gap proper? I've never noticed it being an issue in person but I've seen so many threads on here of cars being improperly jacked, causing the lower fenders to bulge out a lot.
How do mine look?
They look good to me, but I've never had another F-Body to compare it to, at least in my area anyway.

More people please chime in. Thank you

Having said that, it looks good from what I can tell in the pictures, so if it's off by any amount it would have to be very small and something that would need to be evaluated in person - and even then may not be noticeable.
Thanks boss. They are bent without a doubt, and whoever bent them, did so very quickly just based on HOW much they are bent and in which location they're stuck at (inwards towards the engine)
I will snap some more pictures for evaluation. In the meantime, keep em coming. I'd like to see what others bottom of doors/fenders line up.

Take off the ground effect and you'll be able to see if there's a gap better. I would unbolt the fender from the lower bracket and bend it back yourself. The sheet metal should come straight down toward the ground. Sometimes it can look straight down, but it will be rolled so it looks like an "S" from the side, making it harder to align the fender just right.

Due to the ground effects on a Trans Am, it's harder to tell from basic pictures if the gap is only enlarged by a small amount - unlike a Camaro or Formula/Firebird which are usually very easy to spot even when small.
