Default how can i fix this?

my taillights have a giant gap (probably why i have all that water in my trunk, not just the gaskets). my front bumper/lip/fender look like a wide body kit (clips are broken) and the front corner lights are way too small for the space they're supposed to be in (don't ask me how the hell that happened...) is there anything i can do to fix this; are these all just the wrong pieces on the car or what??? thanks

edit: why won't the pics show at all??? wtf is goin on with the retard site

I see the pics, try re-adjusting your tail lights, maybe they got hit or something? For the front try and rig up some sort of clip to keep everything in place. Front signals? ummm? i dunno, go back to using oem?

is that a body kit, or factory stuff on there, you said it lookes like wide body, are you talking about you think its a widebody kit or the factory stuff looks dumb, if its factory im stumped on how the lights and stuff dont fit unless the car was in a wreck and wasn't adjusted right thats all i could think of

in that case its just a matter of getting some sockets and wrenches and getting in there and adjusting nuts and bolts on the fenders and bumpers themselves

or you could spraypaint some bubble gum and stuff in there, that works...
or get some red duct tape, they sell red now......what will they think of next

no no its factory bumper, factory everything (WW RS front lip though, but that's not really my concern). i said it looks like a widebody cuz the front bumper is flaring out from the fender lol so it looks gay

For the taillights, that's just the way it is. Mine is the same way:



For the bumper sides, looks like you're missing the rubber piece that goes between the fender and bumper. There is also supposed to be a metal stiffener piece in between the bumper and fender, and it screws to the bumper. Do you have that on there?

As for the bumper lights, aftermarket clears usually fit like shiznit, that's why I tossed mine and put OEM back in.

Buy an all weather silicon(black color) from home depot and fill that gap with it.. I can tell, the rubber seal from the upper left corner of the tailight is fuxored..
