Angry Stupid Parking blocks! anyway to adjust exhast and rear defuser?

so, I was backing into a parking spot a couple days ago and backed onto a weirdly shaped cement parking block. my parktronic didn't pick it up because it must have been too low. (I am quite upset about the whole thing) now my drivers side exhaust tip is about a 1/4 inch higher and about a 1/2 inch more pushed in then the passenger side. As well my rear defuser is about a 1/4 inch higher on my drivers side as well. I looked under the car and there appears to be no other real damage but some solid scratches on my exhaust. Does anyone know if there is some way I can adjust my exhast and defuser?? will I just have to bend it down with force? Also is there any chance there is suspention damage because when I came to a jolted stop I got out to see what I had hit and my rear drivers side tire was off the ground.

that's why I never back in, anywhere, you simply don't have the vision, especially with a tint. or do I parallel park for that matter, for the rim's sake. i was stupid enough to forget a small parking strip that was in front of my car in a garage, but luckily i was starting out slowly, then realized it before it was too late. Good luck, maybe this is a good excuse to get a carbon fiber diffuser...?

I doubt you damaged your suspension by that. Suspension are built to take much more damage than that.
