Default does my rex look dropped??

I swear i have owned this car for 4 years and have always felt it is/was lower than all my other crx/civics. i feel like i bottom out all over the place. it doesnt help that i am in the city with craploads of potholes and dips. here are the pics.'

And on another unrelated note...how the heck do i line up the front bumper right on this fricking car, i have mounted it 3 times now and to no avail. one side will be PERFECT and the other trashed outa whack. here is a pick of that

thanks

Looks normal........ but are your shocks gone and your just bouncing down onto the pot holes? Is it easy to press either the front end on the corners down far? Or on the rear for that matter?

x2. As far as the bumper goes, try fidgeting with the plastic piece that the screws go into.

well actually i think the pictures make it look higher than it is cause i am parked in a culvert...kind lifts up on one side more than the other. this is my 88, but i just sold my 90 and it was, bmper to front bumper facing each other higher than this one. also, does anyone think my front drivers side wheel is totally uncentered with teh wheel well?? ive always thought i looked jacked on that side.

as for the bumper, i had replaced it a year or so ago cause i it my front porch with the stock bumper adn replaced it with the ef7 bumper and fenders....it lookled perfect til a few months ago when someone musta backed into while i was parked on the street and now it wont adjust for nothing.

i already repalced the support..i am thinking the frame rail may have been tweaked just a tad...throwing everything else off..bad thing is if i pull out the bumper and make it look right forcing it, there is like a 1" gap between teh eadlights and teh furthest back part of teh bumper. i hate body stuff period, but dont wanna cough up the dough to get it done

The rustoleum side looks a little dull. What did you spray it with?
