Looks like the filler pannel and the RH taillight is not sitting all the way down due to the light harness being in the way.... check for that, thats how mine looked, it was an easy fix!

if you pulled the bumper support for some reason it will tend to do that. when i started dropping weight in my car, i pulled the bumper support and made some really nice brackets so the bumper would keep its structure....even tho a feather weighs more than the rear bumper support. lol

The rear bumper support is there...I toom the bumper off and it appears to have degraded over time allowing the bumper to flex.
