Re: Rear bumper gap??? whats up with it?
on a body thats been tweaked ( looks like yours has with the different color bumper ) remove tailites , open mounting holes with slightly larger drill bit , re-install hardware loose , align gaps , tighten hardware . gives a little room to shift around .

The metal part of the rear bumper is held onto the car by 4 studs on each side. They also have a little room to move for adjustment.

Re: Rear bumper gap??? whats up with it?
Looks like you need to push your left exhaust tip up a little, or bring the right one down.

John is right. You need to slack the 8 bolts holding the impact bar, under your bumper cover. Then just move it up. Please do it the right way.

Re: Rear bumper gap??? whats up with it?
yea i lost a bolt to the left side of my exhaust, lol i keep losing the bolts too... the yellow cover was warped, i am converting to 91-92 ground effects and thats why the bumper cover is green... my camaro is yellow, green, purple and black lol. so the impact bar could help pic the bumper up? does the rear bumper mount to the impact bar? thanks for the responses everyone. -Matt
