Well, it's worth noting that these are amateur photos and that particular shot does seem to be taken at an angle, which would account for the apparent gap. Lens distortion and other optical aberrations, surface light scattering, bad image compression/resizing algorhythms, field curvature, saturation push, all kinds of things could potentially misrepresent the size, placement, or alignment of the stripes.
Simpler and more likely still is the possibility that the dealer-installed vinyl stripes were placed by a couple of lot techs who were not pinstripers in their former lives.
Best of all, the solution to dealer-installed accessories is brilliantly simple:
"Hey, either you find someone who can put this on right or I'll find someone who wants to sell a car worse than you do."
