I was looking at my Eg because the taillights look uneven on the passengers side. If I could even the gap on that side at the bumper with the smae gap on the drivers side then my tails on the passengers side would look even. The inner tail sits a little higher than the outer and it really is bothering me.
I'm even thinking about taking them out putting OEM back in and just smoking the top half with the Wal-Mart windshield tint
Here's a pic of the gap. It's not much, but you can follow the line from the passengers side to the drivers and see the gap gets smaller

Anyway to tighten that gap up?
Thanks!

when you open the trunk, there should be bolts that connect the trunk to the car. you can loosen those bolts and try to push the right side of the trunk. i had the same problem with my, only it was the left side

Honda body parts dont fit together that good in the first place.
you might try to dremel out the holes for the bolts to where they are slotted, like a distributor. that way you can adjust em till they fit

from my experience, honda body parts fit extremely well compared to aftermarket body parts.

if it doesn't leak, don't worry about it unless its a show car
...but remeber when your trying to fix it. "If you can't duck it, F**K it!"
