sway bar rubbing bumpstop?
This is the first of probably many dumb questions for my new ride. It looks like my front bumpstop is rubbing on my swaybar. I believe it is the stock 1LE swaybar. Is this right? Or is this a nonstock swaybar? Any ideas?
On a sidenote, I thought my car would at least have a stock wonderbar, but it has none. I guess I will have to give a call to TDS.

Here is another pic. The end link does look kinda short to me, but I am no suspension expert. I don't know if it is the original swaybar or the original end link.

That is definitely an aftermarket endlink… short is up to the sway bar and clearances… you want it with the arms of the sway bar as close to parallel to the ground as you can get and still clear everything. FWIW, it does look short

Those are too short. Notice the angle the bar end is making with respect to the endlink axis. It should be 90*, not just flat with the ground. It should also be apparent that the bar end looks rather out of place with the bushings, a dead give away that it's the wrong length.
I had this problem with a parts store a while back. They tried to sell me on the shorter end link set and I finally told them to ignore what car I had and that I wanted those (pointing to the longer). Just one of my many stories of parts store idiots.
