Splash Guard Nightmare! Please help!

Ordered splash guards from acurapartsforless.com. Front fits fine. Left rear also fits fine. Right rear is a different story. Thought I got the wrong part but the vendor checked with one of his TL's and sent me pics showing the fitment was fine.

Here is the vendor's pic:




Notice the white line I drew indicating the liner going straight down.

Here is my car:





Wheel well liner gets cut abruptly. Why is this different than the vendor's liner??






Inner hole is lined up but that throws off the outer side.





Rear splash guards

Is there something wrong with my car??

Here are a couple of pics of my rear splash guards installed. I have the same '12 SHAWD/Tech.

It's been about a year installed so I don't remember all the details, but I remember the bumper being very flexible when these went in. You may just need to push/pull the bumper so the splash guards fit.

Something looks "off" with that splash guard on the right. It looks twisted or bent and not correctly aligned...

Found the problem. Right side of bumper wasn't aligned right which questions what the previous owner did to it...

However, the dealer installed it properly and was able to install the guard. Here is a side by side picture of both sides of the bumper. Should've taken an overview. Oh well. I'm just happy that I discovered the imbalance and that it was fixed!

You can see the right side curves into the body more while the left has a straighter edge.
