wow bro that sucks!

Did the person before you have a body kit on the car?

The only real way to fix it is to get a new rear bumper, or bumper lip.

If your ever planning to do a body kit, now is the best time. A lot of aftermarket rear bumpers use what you have right now, so it would work, or you can always get a new stock bumper.

Depending on what you what, I would say the closest to a mild / stock looking kits would be: R-Magic and Ings.. I would recommended either one of those.

if you buy an aftermarket rear lip, they will not utilize the clips, they mount on completely different. That is why we said to go that route.
