Is this normal? rear quarterpanel + bumper

While buying some new snowboard boots today I noticed there the driver side rear quarter panel and the bumper wasnt very aligned, the bumper on the driver side sticks oout a slight bit so comparing it to the passenger side it looked a lot more aligned flushed.

Any thoughts? only 2000k miles on the car and i dont see any signs of damage and the bumper hasn't been removed or anything..

As you see in the picture below it looks like the bumper is a little more out compared to the rear quarter panel

Typical... I've seen it on other Gs. I think the dealer can adjust.

All body components are perfectly aligned on my G, however I also have an 05 Honda Civic Si and had a similiar problem with rear bumber alignment. Just take it back to the stealership and they can fix for you.

Yes indeed, poor workmanship. Took mine back within a month and they said every thing is within spec. Even my trunk lid had different size gap on each side where it meets the quarter panel. I was just like fk, my Corrola has better workmanship than this.

Yep that's typical. I have that on my car. The funny thing is that my G35 rear bumper was perfectly aligned.

I have poor panel fitment in a few places on my G, but not that specific spot. Yet another reason our G's are $10,000 less than a comparably equipped BMW, Audi, or Benz.
