Beautiful car!
Just FYI, if it is slightly out of alignment, it's no big deal. It is not unusual to look at 10 F-Types and see 2-3 slightly out of alignment, either at the front or back of the hood. Only a very detail-oriented person would notice. It's a pretty simple fix, as various panels can be adjusted slightly.
After having my car for a couple of weeks, I noticed mine was a hair off, but I didn't worry about it too much. However, when I had it in for my annual service, I asked them if they could adjust it, which they did. It's perfect now.
The GM at my dealer said they've done at least a dozen.

I definitely feel a lot better now.
I think I'll do the same - get it taken care of at the annual service, as the dealer is 2 hours away.

Congrats, the 16s look pretty nice.
I'm not sure I see what everyone else is seeing, but I had a misaligned panel myself and they fixed it for me. It took a few days as they sent it to a body shop.
They also implied I caused the damage myself, and that they were doing me a solid by fixing it for me, but they were trying to be nice so I didn't argue. They cleaned it up pretty good though.

Tweaking the hood and panel alignment on an undamaged car only takes a couple of hours. If they had your car for a few days, it's because it took the body shop a long time to get to it, unless there was some actual panel damage.

I received this explanation from the tech who did mine.

Thanks for all of the kind & helpful comments!
No. I have not let the minor cosmetic blemish hampered the joy of driving this wonderful car! I've been busy putting lots of non-purposeful miles on the S AWD. The only thing that I do not love about this car is the intelligent start/stop, although I've already found a solution to it - always drive in the dynamic mode.
The dealer has agreed to straighten the hood on my next service visit.

With regard to the "start/stop" system, keep an open mind. I didn't like the idea of it in the beginning, but it's growing on me. I actually allow it to do it's thing when stuck in traffic gridlock in my area, and it works flawlessly.
