Got bumped into today
My wife came out after work to find a note on the windshield saying that somebody had bumped into the rear bumper. Was nice to at least get that, and thee doesn't appear to be any real damage. However I am questioning the bumper alignment.

So here's a couple of pics from both sides. Please let me know if you think that it looks right.

Thanks!

I see it exactly the same on both sides! So, honestly I wouldn't bother! It was just a bump (obviously) the bumper absorbs and regains its normal position after a while. It looks fine to me! Just my .2cents!

Thanks for the response. I know it looks the same, however it sticks out a bit on both sides. Is it the same on any other members cars?
