Like in a previous thread, I noticed that my right rear side of my car is off. The fender, trunk and light are off including the muffler. How would a bodyshop be able to determine if its been into an accident? And also since it was Acura "Certified" ( I say this with much doubt) if it were in a previous accident, do I have a case to return the car to Acura, and blame the dealership? Any opinions on the gaps that are very noticable.....

Are you talking about the right muffler ?

Look at the gap between the light and the trunk and the trunk and fender...also the muffler. I suspect something isnt right.

i Think my TL trunk lid is off a LiL too but as far as the muffler go's they all look like that, i dont know why but my Boy's Tl has the same problem to

the trunk height is adjustable (to a point) screwing in the rubber plug on the trunk lid on the passenger side, or unscrew the one on the drivers side. that should help withthe gap a little.

Also, try loosening the nuts on the brake light, hold it where you want it and tighten the nuts in a star pattern. When I put the 03 tails on my car it didn't line up perfectly it basically pulled it to the side because I tightened down one side all the way before putting any of the other nuts on.

I don't think your car's been hit, it looks pretty level... I'm looking at the whole rear end, trunk, bumper, fenders....

even if it was hit , unless it had some kinda frame damage, just a minor accident doesnt mean that they cant certify the car. only way u would have a case is if it has a bent frame or u said "was this car in an accident" and they told u no.

It's a unibody car, there's no 'frame' to damage. There might be a subframe that carries the engine (haven't looked at the Service Manual) but that's it.
