Default tail light sag

if you notice in my pics my tail lights dont go straight across and tend to sag towards the middle of the car. any one else have this problem? ive tried even "shimming up" the top of the bumper where its held to the car but still doesnt make them straight

The car has probably been in an accident and has frame damage. That's the only thing I can imagine making things crooked like that.

yeah i know for sure that it has been in an accident before because it has a rebuilt title. and i can tell that it was tboned on the passenger side because the door on that side is from a different car plus other little details that ive found. it looks fine otherwise. i just selected these pics to point out the problem at hand

That is pretty interesting. I too have never seen anything like that on an SC. It must've been a bad accident...

Seems like they must of cut out a good portion out of the rear of the car. They didn't get that lined up worth a damn though. How does the car drive otherwise? I'd love to see pics of you undercarriage and behind your trunk carpeting on the passenger side.

ive looked at the under side of the car and in the trunk extensively and havent seen any signs of a chop or work or anything...then again im no professional on the matter. the car looks straight from all angles, drives great, and all the body panels line up perfectly except for this.
