My MKI (2123) is also a bit off. I have around 3/4" more space to the left of the 8 stack system than on the right. This is probably why so many owners have chosen to cut out the opening and install clear lexan. I suggest you not get too hung up about it, and don't go measuring too many other things if it bothers you. Besides this, the lynch-pin on my rear shell is significantly off-center with respect to the vent grill immediately above it, my exhausts exit visibly off-center in the rear grill opening, etc. etc. All of these things were starting to grate on me until I stopped to realize that not a single person outside of me has ever noticed any of them. I also remembered the time I installed a new license plate frame on my Dino. When I tried to fine the exact center of the tail of the car I found that NOTHING was exactly symmetrical. My wife told me, "Sweetie, you're face isn't perfectly symmetrical either, but I wouldn't want to change it." (She's a good gal.) These GT40's are copies of race cars that were not exactly what you would call coachbuilt artwork. Fortunately the quality of Hightech's finish overshadows any of this.
