Why is that BS, did it fit better before??? Just curious, they bumpers really only go on one way, I hate to say it but 2500 for a paint job is pretty average, if not a good deal. Did you ask them to gap all the panels and what not, or was that part of the deal when you took it in?

looks like nice paint, good props to the body shop! make sure all the nuts are on the inside of the bumper (in the trunk).
on another note.... when i was autocrossing, i didnt have bumper supports on the front and rear (weight) , and the rear bumper had just a little more gap than yours. what im trying to say is, make sure everything is in there (styrofoam and support beam) . theres no telling how the previous owner of your car molested it!

My TEG has the same gap, and every one I've seen has it. It's normal.

^ had no idea what he said ^

Sometimes the rear bumper has a support bar under the taillight that the bumper clips to. If you push that bar up a bit higher it will reduce the gap.
