I don't have a pic of mine but had the same problem....and noticed when I put fender on and adjusted to door ,etc, that it was really tight up on the top of the core support causing the fender opening to sag down and be too large a gap to the grill. The other cause of too much space is if the lower valence is pulling down....can be raised up by loosening the bolt where it attaches to the core support and lift it up and retighten

I lowered my core support by having my solid aluminum body bushing under the core support machined down. Between the two I was able to close up the space and get rid of that fender sag.

PS my grill space was about 3/4 inch too big.
