1. An exterior decoration device comprising:
a garnish frame including:
an upper surface to which a garnish exposure member including an exposed external surface is coupled, and
a reaction force hook protruding inclinedly from a rim portion of the garnish frame and configured to be elastically deformed;
a level difference adjustment bolt including an external thread shaft and configured to form a dispersion adjustment structure in a state of being coupled to the garnish frame, protruding in a direction opposite to the garnish exposure member, the level difference adjustment bolt configured to adjust both a surface level difference of the garnish exposure member and a hook level difference of the reaction force hook by inducing a rotation of the dispersion adjustment structure and changing a protrusion length of the external thread shaft protruding from the garnish frame, wherein the surface level difference is a gap in level between a surface of an outer panel and the garnish exposure member, and the hook level difference is a gap between a bottom surface of the outer panel and the reaction force hook; and
a fastening tool configured to define an excessive torque cut-off structure together with the level difference adjustment bolt,
wherein a torque is transmitted to the level difference adjustment bolt in a state in which the fastening tool is coupled to the excessive torque cut-off structure, and the torque is not transmitted to the level difference adjustment bolt in a state in which the fastening tool is released from the excessive torque cut-off structure.
