Looks like you will need to pull the front bumper off and reset the guide rails, your rear bumper looks like it is only sagging in the rear and you might be able to unbolt the bolts in the back, pull your bumper up and tighten them with out removing the bumper and resetting the guide rails. The guide rails on the rear bumper are on the side not in the rear, the rear is held up by 4 bolts that go into holes in the rear. Taking off either bumper is EASY and resetting the guide rails is easy too.

i finally got around to realigning my rear bumper, or at least the rearmost portion of my rear bumper. looks so much better. it's not flush (and i've been told that it's actually not supposed to be flush), but the gap is now even all the way around. before, the gap on the back part of the bumper was twice as wide as at the rails (no exaggeration). i didn't reset the rails bc i was too lazy, but if i did, im sure the gap wouldve come down even more. but it looks good (enough) as is now. thanks for the tips!
cheers

You can buy it on Ebay among other places, it is very helpful if you are working on your own car.

503 thanks for that now i know what it is cheers, im just going through the sagging bumper saga at the moment. Today i took the bumper off and both of the brackets on the side are cracked so i will order a new bumper support tomorrow. With the guide rails that are on the car you can unbolt them and adjust them to close the gap right?
