Thanks for elaborating.

But even after taking several looks at the photos you linked to and re-reading your posts, I still don't see the gaps you're talking about, and I think one would have to really look for them to notice them.

So you may be fussing over something that hardly anyone is going to pick up on.

Looks great. I ordered Skyscraper, which being a medium gray works well with darker wheels...but Dravit being a darker gray looks much better with brighter wheels like yours in my opinion. It makes the Dravit pop.

Yes, there are some very good options for medium gray.

How do you clean the air filters?
Do you remove the top panel between the bumper and cross brace?
