Yes. It is. That bothered the hell out of me when I first installed mine. You won't even notice it after a while. No one else will either. Enjoy it, it looks nice. : )

Do you have pics of your car?

normal, but i think it looks better, and it brings more air into your engine bay[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] so more air isnt too bad

Yep, I have the altezza grill as well. That gap bothered me when I put it on and 6 months later, it still does.

You can remove the H emblem from the oe grill and put it on the new one with some double sided tape. Also, you might want to consider ordering the body-colored front trim piece to go with it. It's only 18 bucks.
